Welcome to Country
A Welcome to Country is a ceremony given by a local Aboriginal person of the country (usually an Elder) to acknowledge and give consent to events taking place on their traditional lands (Country). It is also a sign of respect and protocol which dates back to traditional times prior to the arrival of Europeans to Australia.
A Smoking Ceremony is an ancient continuing custom among Indigenous Australians that involves smouldering various native plants to produce smoke. The audience will be invited to walk through the smoke, as the smoke has cleansing and healing properties and the ability to ward off bad spirits.
