Welcome to coastal Sydney.
Our people have been
living here since time began.
Our spirit ancestors
made our country,
gave us our laws
and kinship.
(Dharawal ‘BURIBURI’ SONG PLAYS IN BACKGROUND)
Our people thrived
in this country
by looking after one another,
our lands, our waterways
and our skyways.
We have a deep spiritual
connection to this land.
Our old people lived in camps
around Sydney Harbour
and Botany Bay.
We continue to live and work
in this area,
just like our old people.
On behalf of my people
of coastal Sydney
I welcome you here to the
Living Language exhibition.
