Acknowledgment of Country

The Toolangi-Castella local history group would like to acknowledge the Taungurung and the Wurundjeri peoples, who are the traditional custodians of the lands on which the townships of Toolangi and Castella lie. We pay respect to their Elders past, present, and emerging.

We recognise and celebrate that the Taungurung and Wurundjeri peoples of these lands never ceded sovereignty, and they remain strongly connected to country through their culture.
