WOMINJEKA-WELCOMEWomin Jeka mirambeek beek. Boonwurrung Nairm derp Bordupren uther Wilam. Welcome to my country, the land of the great bay of the Boonwurrung people, our beautiful home. On behalf of the Boonwurrung, a clan of the greater Kulin nations, I welcome you to our land. Euro Yuroke more commonly known as St Kilda and its surrounds are special places which continue to carry forward the spirit of our tradition. This land will always be protected by the creator, Bunjil, who travels as an eagle, and by Waarn, who protects the waterways and travels as a crow. As the spirit of my ancestors lives, let the wisdom and the spirit of generosity which Bunjil taught us influence the opportunities that may arise at this meeting place. Womin Jeka mirambeek beek.
