        Qwire acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which we sing and come together. We pay
        our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.  We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded and
        that this was, always will be Ngunnawal land.

We pay our respects to the Ngunnawal people of this region and say to you, with their permission,
Yuma - Welcome.
