'The Aboriginal Community Elders Service (ACES) is located in a bushland setting on the banks of Merri Creek in East Brunswick. It provides a range of services to Aboriginal Elders, including day care, hostel accommodation, a nursing home and a cultural centre. Aboriginal values and respect for Elders are the guiding principles. Aboriginal Elders' role as cultural custodians has always been of central importance. This book was written as one of the many ways that today's Elders continue their role of passing on knowledge to the next generation, now also sharing that with the wider community in the spirit of reconciliation.'
