AUSTRALIA Here in this Great Island home of ours now known as Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have lived and practiced their culture for many thousands of years. We pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of this land and acknowledge their enduring culture and connection to country. We extend respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
