Gnatanwarr Gunditjmara Mirring

I Welcome You //

sweet eucalyptus karrang and salty breeze

swampy pastures and sandy shores

To Country //

Bunjil, nyeeyangkarra protector

and the giant’s volcano

Acknowledge the Traditional Owners and //

     country heals the broken

peace found in a hush of wind

through tree and river

to reconcile our spirit

a sigh of smoke

tendrilling

cleansing and rekindling

Custodians and Emerging Leaders//

brothers and sisters of this land

ngata wata

I long to speak to you again
