I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which I mostly live, work and play - the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people of the Kulin Nation and the Brayakaulung people of the Gunaikurnai Nation, where I grew up and return to often. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and recognise their continued connection to Country and culture, and as the first and most enduring storytellers of these lands. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
