We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and to all of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who live and work on Wadawurrung Country. We acknowledge their unceded sovereignty over Wadawurrung Country, and the ongoing hardship and trauma as a result of colonisation. The history and continuous culture of the Wadawurrung people is an important part of our shared story.</p></span></div><div class="_18txvyl150 _18txvyl19o _18txvyl30 _18txvyl2x _18txvyleu _18txvyl1o _18txvylbo _18txvyl76 _18txvyl4l _18txvyl46 _1oyf7dnc opmzcn0 l1be0z1"><div class="_1oyf7dne _1vi1mbn1 l1be0z1"><svg class="_1vi1mbn2" width="184" height="64" viewBox="0 0 184 64" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g clip-path="url(#clip0_595_3871)"><path d="M135.113 40.5283L136.179 45.1559H136.2L137.244 40.5283H138.288V46.6517H137.685V41.0341H137.664L136.394 46.6517H135.963L134.683 41.0341H134.672V46.6517H134.059V40.5283H135.113Z" fill="white"/><path d="M141.174 40.5283V45.0267C141.174 45.6509 141.357 46.1782 142.078 46.1782C142.799 46.1782 142.971 45.6401 142.971 45.0267V40.5283H143.638V45.0375C143.638 46.0276 143.176 46.7378 142.078 46.7378C140.98 46.7378 140.518 46.0276 140.518 45.0375V40.5283H141.174Z" fill="white"/><path d="M148.112 42.0997C148.058 41.4755 147.811 41.002 147.165 41.002C146.659 41.002 146.325 41.3356 146.325 41.8091C146.325 43.1974 148.779 43.2081 148.779 45.1775C148.779 46.1569 148.219 46.738 147.208 46.738C146.196 46.738 145.669 46.0385 145.658 45.0054H146.272C146.293 45.7264 146.627 46.1784
