For over 50,000 years, the Wadandi and Bibbulman people of the Busselton, Dunsborough and Margaret River areas of Australia’s south-west have walked this ancient land. Koomal Dreaming is your opportunity to follow in their footsteps and experience Wadandi country through their eyes. Wadandi custodian Josh “Koomal” Whiteland will introduce you to the world’s oldest living culture with his authentic, personal interpretation. Be moved by the skill and intensity of Josh’s didgeridoo playing and fire-making, taste native foods, discover bush medicine and meet the animals, plants and Dreaming spirits that have enriched the lives of Wadandi and Bibbulman people since time began. Come on a tour with Koomal Dreaming and see life as it has always been.
Koomal Dreaming tours create a deep connection and lasting memories through Aboriginal interpretive experiences amongst spectacular locations across the Margaret River Region. Enter the Boodja (country) of the Wadandi people through their eyes and learn about the Noongar seasons and the encircling connections with the rivers, the seas, the animals, fish and plants. Move along the breathtaking Cape to Cape track gathering a deeper appreciation of the ecology, how it relates to the surrounding oceans and headlands, and why the past is ever present to the land’s traditional custodians.
Our cultural experiences depart from either of the following meeting points: Ngilgi Cave (Yallingup Caves Road, Yallingup) or Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse precinct (1267 Cape Naturaliste Road, Naturaliste), both just a 10-15min drive from Dunsborough.
