We pay respects to our Elders both Past and Present and to honour our Ancestors for without them we wouldn’t be here today. I would like to take this opportunity to share with you, what a welcome to country means. There are over 250 Aboriginal countries and more than 500 language groups within Australia. Boundaries were respected you didn’t have the right to just walk onto or pass through country unless you were welcomed. Traditionally a Welcome was to allow safe passage for visitors to pass through unhindered, in order to hunt and gather food or to meet for business to discuss important matters. Visitors would light a fire and wait for the traditional owners to come and ask of your business thus the welcome to country. Most times a corrobee or celebration was part of the welcome. Learning is a vital to the continuation of our cultures. Macquarie University carries on this tradition. Aboriginal people have shared knowledge in the telling of stories, in their art and dance. We have kept our cultures alive through the passing on of knowledges. As students of Macquarie University, you will continue in this tradition. Your journey will be difficult but with the support of family, friends you will succeed. I hope you will come to view the staff of Warawara as your extended family as I have. Today our land looks much different to what it used to prior to colonisation, though this does not mean it has less significance for our people today. The land is still our Mother and we show her much respect. She gives us everything that we need so while you walk on this land think of the old people and show respect to one another through humility, patience and trust. I am hopeful that you will continue learning these lessons as you move through your degree. I would finally like to take this opportunity to wish you the very best in your studies.
