ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge and respect the traditional custodians of the lands where the temples once stood. We acknowledge the deep feelings of attachment and relationship of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to country. We acknowledge the Anaiwan, Bigambul, Gamilaraay, Jukambal, Kwiagambal, Ngoorabul, Nucoorilma and Wirrayaraay peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
