The Gardens of Stone region is and always has been Aboriginal land, especially of the Wiradjuri people. We pay respect to the Traditional Custodians, their elders past, present and future. We acknowledge their living culture and unique role in the life of the area.

We thank them for protecting the Gardens of Stone and for welcoming people to share and enjoy their Country and their culture.

Statement from Wiradjuri Elder Auntie Helen Riley, on behalf of Mingaan Wiradjuri Aboriginal Corporation, Lithgow:

"We welcome the opportunity to assist [Destination Pagoda and] the Gardens of Stone proposal. The respect for the land is paramount to ensure not only the protection of the environment but equally Aboriginal culture. Look after the land and the rivers and the land and the rivers will look after you. Our landscapes are our pages telling our story. Damage to any part is disrespectful to all our Ancestors."
