Gunawirra resides on Wangal country. Gunawirra acknowledges the Wangal people as being the traditional owners of this land. Gunawirra pays respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging. Gunawirra also wishes to acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their communities of Australia, and we respect and recognise that they still have a strong continuing connection to their culture, land, water and community.
