Local Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge and respect the traditional and original custodians of Nuriootpa – the three Aboriginal language groups of the Ngadjuri, Kaurna and Peramangk. Nuriootpa is a meeting place of the three Aboriginal groups and their peoples, and it continues to be a meeting place for many today.

We acknowledge and recognise the special relationship and deep feelings of attachment and belonging that Aboriginal people have to their land and Country, which they call Mother. We also pay our respects to the cultural authority of Aboriginal people from across Australia.
