We are learning on stolen lands that always was always will be Aboriginal. We would like to acknowledge that we are learning and growing on the Wurundjeri woi wurrung peoples country that extends around the Dandenong ranges and borders the Bunurong peoples country to the south, the Gunaikurnai country to the east, the taunarong people to the north, the Dja Dja Wurrung people to the north west, and the Watharong people to the west. We are grateful to be able to study the native animals that have lived around the Dandenong ranges for thousands of years. We would like to pay our respects to all the elders past, present and future, and to and to any Wurundjeri peoples who may be reading this.
