Acknowledgement of Country
Gembrook Retreat is on the border Country of the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung and Boonwurrung/Bunurong peoples.
Sovereignty has never been ceded, even in the face of invasion and colonisation. We acknowledge and celebrate their deep and ongoing connection to this Country since time immemorial.
Gembrook Retreat warmly invites all Aboriginal people to stay with us. Mob-only events welcome.
We seek to provide a culturally safe and affirming space by working to unwind our own colonial mindset and practices, and taking active steps to listen to and learn from Aboriginal people, from the land and all its many beings.
We give close attention to this Country with gratitude, care and respect.
