We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians and Owners of the lands, waters and sky of Sydney Harbour. Cockatoo Island connects to the waterways and homelands of the Wallumedegal, Wangal, Cammeraygal and Gadigal peoples, who know it as Wareamah. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
