“The Past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.”

“The Past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.”
I acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri Peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of the land in which I am privileged to live and work. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples across what is now known as Australia.
I recognise the importance of continuing to educate myself about the ways in which these living cultures have developed over tens of thousands of years, and I express my sincere gratitude for being able to share a small part of this ongoing journey. As a historian, I support the Uluru Statement from the Heart and I remain impressed by its generosity.
