Tjilbruki Gateway, Warriparinga

Marni Naa Pudni “Welcome”

​

We acknowledge the Kaurna peoples who are the traditional Custodians of the Adelaide region. We pay tribute to their physical and spiritual connection to land, waters and community, enduring now as it has been throughout time. We pay respect to them, their culture and to Elders past and present. We would also like to acknowledge and pay our respects to those Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from other Nations who live, work, travel and contribute on Kaurna Country.

​

A note on language: the term Aboriginal is used hereafter in this annual report as an all-encompassing term for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and cultures.
