The DocNetwork acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather to share history. We recognise their enduring connection to the land, sea, and waterways. We pay our respects to the elders, past and present, of the Ngunnawal and Wiradjuri peoples, whose wisdom and knowledge have been passed down for thousands of years.
