Sign of respect

SMOKE filled Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Friday, but there was no cause for alarm.
The Koori Court hosted a welcome to country and traditional smoking ceremony to show respect for the land’s traditional owners.
The court opened in 1994 but a ceremony had not previously taken place.
Wurundjeri woman, Jemima Gardiner, delivered the welcome to country and the Jindi Woraback dancers performed in traditional body paint with boomerangs and didgeridoos. 110545 Picture: ROB CAREW
