This event will take place on Djaara Country, the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung. We wish to pay our respects to Djarra Ancestors, Elders past and present, and to the Djarra community whose continual custodianship of this Country plays an integral and foundational role in the life of this nation. Sovereignty was never ceded, This always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
