We acknowledge Country, the earth that has existed since the time of land began. The sky Country, all the waters that move across the planet, the molten lava, the crust and core which forms the essence of all we know that holds us in this place, in this time and has, since the time of land began. We acknowledge that the land has been looked after by all the living beings, plants, animals and minerals since the time of land began and that we are held now and always in the places that we roam for the nourishment and connection of our being. It is Country that was, always is and always will be, it is Country that holds us in our place.
