Welcome to Wagga Wagga in Wiradjuri Country. Our respect to Wiradjuri Elders, past and present. With this welcome, we ask that you all respect the law of the country. Look after the land and the rivers, then the land and the rivers will look after you all. Hold fast to each other, empower the people, look after everything living and growing. It is wonderful to see our footprints side by side in the soil on Wiradjuri land. This indicates that people are walking and talking together. So let’s work together to make everything good for our people. We Wiradjuri people welcome you all to Wiradjuri Country. Respect and honour all people and all parts of the country. Give honour, be polite and patient with all then the people will respect you.
