I acknowledge that I live and farm on Djaara country, and that sovereignty on this land has not been ceded. I pay my respects to the Dja Dja Wurrung people as the traditional custodians of this land, and acknowledge how they have cared for and respected this land for thousands of years.

In solidarity, I also acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout so-called Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
