ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

Wollombi was a significant ceremonial meeting place for coastal Aboriginal peoples.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which our Festival takes place the Awabakal people to the East, the Wannaruah people to the Northwest and the Darkinjung people to the South.

We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
