This blog is written on Menang Noongar country in Western Australia. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land. I acknowledge the Menang Noongar people as the custodians of this land who have practiced earth care, people care and fair share here for tens of thousands of years. I pay my respect to Indigenous elders past, present and emerging.
