Our Head Office is located on the land of Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation (East Melbourne, Victoria).

Our Walkabout Wickets symbol by Kirrae Whurrong artist Fiona Clarke (b.1963), represents cricket stars past, present and future, and the meeting places where they play. Aunty Fiona is a descendant of James 'Mosquito' Couzens. He and his brother Jonny Couzens were members of the first Australian cricket team ever to tour England – in 1868.
