Full Moon Hot Sun acknowledges the land on which we live and work as Yuin Country. We recognise the Yuin people as the Traditional Custodians of this land and honour the cultural, spiritual and ecological knowledge that has guided its care for tens of thousands of years.
We recognise Country as a living system — shaped by long stewardship, deep listening and intergenerational responsibility. We commit to learning from this custodianship, supporting its continuation, and contributing with humility to outcomes that strengthen community, culture and place over time.
