The Wurundjeri say that our story is similar to yours.
Your story is by your chosen faith, our story is by the dreaming. We
both have creators and we believe in our creators. Ours is Bunjil the
Eagle. In the creation story we say we belong to the land, that we are
part of the land and the land part of us. Wurundjeri also say that
there is a place for everyone and everyone has a place on this land.
St
Patrick’s Cathedral provides a beautiful place and a comfortable
environment. We feel happy here too. Today and always we will share
this space as the symbol of creation in the lives of all people. We are
honoured to form this partnership in respect of your reconciliation of
the Aboriginal people and their lives.
