Our campus is
on Wurundjeri
land, and this
has been
a place of learning and innovation for tens of thousands of years.
I acknowledge and respect all ancestral lands of Australia’s
First Peoples
and I pay my respects to Elders past, present and
future.

Another interest of mine is still in Moonshine and the Monster. (See also Baby Monsters.)
