We’d like to make a moment in which we pause and acknowledge that we live on Aboriginal land. Gawler is Kaurna land and borders on that of the Peramangk and Ngarrindjeri peoples.

According to historical information from all parties, this land was never ceded but rather colonised through theft and violence – a colonisation that continues.

In this light, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, past present and future, and look forward to  working together, from the heart, to heal some of the damage done and to build a better future for all.

Much of our personal connection with Indigenous Australian Culture was formed on Ngarrindjeri Ruwe (Country) further down south.
