The 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.
For over 50,000 years, the Wadandi 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 & fire-making, taste native foods, discover bush medicine and meet the animals, plants and Dreaming spirits that have enriched the lives of Wadandi people since time began.
Koomal Dreaming allows visitors to experience Wadandi and Bibbulman country through the eyes of the traditional owners.
From his home base of Dunsborough, Josh allows guests to taste native foods, discover bush medicine, and experience traditional fire lighting. Josh recounts stories of the Dreaming spirits related to his traditional area and takes visitors deep into Ngilgi Cave for a uniquely memorable didgeridoo cave experience.
Private cultural tours along with Aboriginal food foraging and tastings are available on request at Ngilgi Cave as well as the stunning Cape Naturaliste location in the Margaret River region.
Providing a deep connection and lasting memories, Josh will also provide a deeper appreciation of the beautiful and inspiring Cape to Cape region.

An unforgettable experience for our business event!
We had an incredible afternoon and evening with Koomal Dreaming as part of our business event, and it was truly the highlight of the weekend. The experience struck a perfect balance between cultural education, connection to place, personal reflection and group networking.
The cave tour at Ngilgi Caves, led by Josh, was incredibly powerful. His knowledge sharing and storytelling offered deep insight into local Aboriginal history and the innovative, sustainable ways Indigenous communities have lived in harmony with the land for generations.
The Indigenous cultural experience was excellent — grounding us in a real appreciation of circular economy principles and sustainable living. It offered valuable lessons that resonate both personally and professionally, especially for businesses thinking about sustainability, innovation, and community impact.
Koomal Dreaming is a must for any organisation looking to connect more deeply with culture, place, and purpose. Amazing experience from start to finish!

This is a must do experience for anyone and everyone in the South West! Whether you are a local or visitor to the region, the experience and journey that Josh takes you on is invaluable! Josh is not only gracious, sharing stories of his ancestors but extremely knowledgeable of the region and the land. The Koomal Dreaming team execute a fantastic experience that is both mesmerising and educational. The cultural food and cave tour is incredible, can't sing Josh and the teams praises enough! Thanks again, will be seeing you again soon.

This is an amazing tour. Josh explains the culture and life skills of Australia’s First Nations bringing it alive. The Ngilgi Cave is awe-inspiring. The delicious lunch completed an excellent tour. Must do if in the South West of WA.

I booked a group of 19 for the 2.5 hour experience. It was magnificent. Josh is very knowledgeable and readily and clearly shared information about the local area and the Wadandi people. Josh has designed much (if not all) of the site around the caves entrance himself. Thank you, Josh. This was a highlight of our trip.
