We acknowledge the Whadjuk Noongar people as the original Custodians of Wadjemup / Rottnest Island, their continued connection to the island and its waters, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
We pay special respect to all Aboriginal people affected by the historical use of Wadjemup as a place of unjust incarceration, especially the men and boys whose bodies still rest beneath the sands of Wadjemup, and to the families and descendants who lost them.
