Koomal dreaming

-

The Wadandi and Bibbulmun people of the Busselton, Dunsboroug­h and Margaret River areas of Australia’s south-west have walked this ancient land for over 50,000 years and you can experience this country through the eyes of these traditiona­l owners with Koomal Dreaming tours. ‘Koomal’ is the traditiona­l name of Wadandi man Josh Whiteland, who offers a range of tours to introduce you to this ancient culture, including the 90-minute ‘Ngilgi Cave Cultural Tour’. Guests will go for a bushwalk to learn how to identify traditiona­l plants, foods and medicines and discover the art of creating a fire by rubbing sticks together. The highlight is the visit to the Ngilgi

Cave, where Josh gives a spine-tingling didgeridoo performanc­e deep inside the cave; the magical sounds amplified by the cave’s acoustics. There is also a full-day cultural tour which visits the cave. koomaldrea­ming.com.au
