Koomal Dreaming Tours
Life with the Wardandi and Bibbulman is all about telling stories through talking, dancing and song. It's about knowing the spirits that live in different places, being in tune with the seasons, and understanding how to live in balance with your surroundings.
Each of the Koomal Dreaming tours touches on a different aspect of life as the Wardandi know it and still live it, in the region known as Cape to Cape. Experience just one tour or spend more time with Koomal and his team - either way it will touch your life and create memories you'll treasure.

Venture into Ngilgi cave, where the good spirit Ngilgi dwells, to hear the Dreamtime legends associated with this cavern, which at 500,000 years old has been here even longer than the Wardandi.
