Welcome to Country
Welcome to Country ceremonies are an acknowledgement and recognition of the rights of Noongar People to Noongar Land.
This acknowledgement pays respect to the traditional custodians, ancestors and continuing cultural, spiritual and religious practices of Noongar people. The land, waterways and culturally significant sites are still very important to Noongar people. It is an acknowledgement of the past and provides a safe passage for visitors and a mark of respect. Further, it provides an increasing awareness and recognition of Australia’s Aboriginal peoples and cultures.
