We acknowledge the Wadawurrung and the Dja Dja wurrung people, the traditional custodians of the land where we base ourselves, along with those who steward all the lands upon which we gather. God created these lands, the mountains, rivers and trees, and He has entrusted their care to the traditional custodians. We commit to and pray that we will show respect to elders past and present, that we will learn from them with humility and walk softly and gently on these lands.
