“We are visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow and to love... and then we return home.”
This Australia Day we invite you to follow the calling of this Aboriginal proverb. To observe, to learn, to grow and to love.
We acknowledge, celebrate and respect the traditional custodians of the land to which we call home. We pay our respect to the elders past, present and future. As a country we need to heal, honour and embrace a future together as one people.
