SYN media acknowledges and pays respect to the people of the Woirang and Boonwurrung language groups of the Eastern Kulin nations on whose unceded lands the SYN studios stand. SYN extends this respect to the traditional custodians and people of the lands and waters our content reaches. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land. (MUSIC)
