We love taking our guests on immersive Aboriginal culture
experiences – it’s what lights our fire! Here’s what some of
our guests have to say.
This is an amazing experience that any visitor to the South West should make it their priority to enjoy. Josh is a fantastic storyteller/educator and is also a really nice and genuine guy. Spending time with him will leave a lasting impression on any guest that joins his tours. Learning about the Wadandi culture, native foods and bush medicine whilst also witnessing him play the didgeridoo in the beautiful Ngilgi Cave are all incredible experiences. As a local from Margaret River that also runs a tourism business I would highly recommend any visitor to the Margaret River region to book a tour with Josh and Koomal Dreaming as it will be the highlight of your holiday.
I had the pleasure of joining a group of colleagues for the Koomal Dreaming Experience this morning, and I must say, it was an absolutely captivating adventure.
Our guide, Josh, deserves special praise for his engaging presence throughout the experience. His deep knowledge and passion for the indigenous culture shone through as he skillfully led us on this remarkable journey. His storytelling abilities brought the history and traditions of the region to life, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in the cultural richness of the area.
Josh gives an interesting and informative talk. We bring our students here every year to learn about the local customs and history.
