I would like to acknowledge that this video was filmed on the traditional lands of the Wurrundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. I would like to pay my respects to their Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander or First Nations people who may be watching this video.
