In the spirit of reconciliation I respectfully acknowledge the Jagera (Yuggera) and Turrbul peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which much of this work was created and their connections to land, sea and community.
I pay respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
