The cast and crew of the movie Mother Mountain took part in a traditional smoking ceremony the day before filming started.
"It was important to director Celina Stang the cast and crew were welcomed to such scared country," Ms Dobbie said.
The smoking ceremony was performed by Founder of the Gulaga Dancers, Warren Foster Snr, Nicholas Hoskins and Warren Foster Jnr.
"Every single person there went through the smoke and they loved every second of the experience," Ms Dobbie said.
"We would like to acknowledge the Aboriginal people here on country past and present for enabling us to film on this land," she said.
"We would especially like to thank the Wagonga Land Council, Vivienne Mason and her team, along with her granddaughter Ashweeni Mason for appearing in the film with her children as extras.
"A special thank you goes to Warren Foster, Loretta Parsley, Vikki Parsley, Terry Hill, Lynne Thomas and the surrounding LALC for their guidance and consultation.
"We would also like to thank the Gulaga Board for their support and the many locals who were extras giving up their valuable time and showing a lot of patience waiting as scenes can take longer than expected," Ms Dobbie said.
