Acknowledgment of Country

We would like to acknowledge that the Discovery Centre is on the traditional land of the Dja Dja Wurrung clan of the Kulin Nation, and recognise that they are among the first scientists, astronomers and engineers in human history. We pay respect to them, their culture and knowledge, and to the Elders, past, present & emerging. Through our work here, we promote scientific understanding in the hope that we can help tend to this land to keep it healthy for future generations.
