Described by the early colonists as Paradise, the land where Perth City now sits has been home to the Nyungar people since the Dreamtime. Go Cultural Aboriginal Tours and Experiences offers a glimpse into Nyungar culture through a short walking tour of Perth that uncovers Dreamtime stories, sacred sites and forgotten lakes that lie under modern skyscrapers.

Your guide, Walter McGuire, provides the perfect introduction to Perth’s Cultural past. Walter is a well-respected Nyungar man and is a traditional owner of the Whadjuk lands on which Perth city now stands. From childhood Walter was schooled in Nyungar culture, language and customs by his parents and recognised Elders including those of related tribal groups. In this respect he shares his culture with deep reverence for his Ancestors, fellow Nyungar and the First Peoples of Australia and the world. Walter conducts most of his Aboriginal cultural awareness activities, including Aboriginal tours, around Perth’s iconic city locations.

Join Walter at beautiful Elizabeth Quay for a fascinating 90 minute walking tour, a tour that offers a glimpse into the world’s oldest living culture through ancient Dreamtime stories, traditional songs and Nyungar language. Learn about the six seasons and how they influenced the day to day lives and spiritual connection the Nyungar people have to their country.

Customised 3 hour group tours are also available. Groups discuss Aboriginal culture and history, hear a selection of Dreamtime stories and Nyungar hunting and celebratory songs and then get hands on with traditional ochres, implements and hunting weapons.

Koomal Dreaming provides an opportunity for visitors to experience Wadandi and Bibbulman country (the Margaret River Region) through the eyes of the traditional owners. Wadandi cultural custodian Josh Whiteland provides guests with the opportunity to taste native foods, discover bush medicine, and experience traditional fire lighting. Josh recounts stories of the Dreaming spirits that relate to his traditional area, and takes visitors deep into Ngilgi Cave for a uniquely memorable didgeridoo cave experience.

The Wadandi and Bibbulman people of Australia’s south-west have walked the ancient Margaret River lands for almost 50,000 years. Together with other Aboriginal groups from Kalbarri to Esperance, they are known as Noongar. The Noongar culture is as rich and varied as the countryside itself, and sharing in their knowledge of culture and the pristine environment is fascinating.

Josh Whiteland will help you explore the region on a number of tour options that show the local plants used for traditional medicines and provide you with a taste of native bush foods.

He’ll also demonstrate the traditional ways of fire lighting, the ancient art of tool making and introduce you to the animals, plants and Dreaming Spirits that have enriched the lives of the local people and their ancestors.

Josh also happens to be a talented musician who will delight you with a mesmerising didgeridoo performance and stories about Dreamtime legends inside the spectacular Ngilgi cave, where the good spirit Ngili lives.

The South West of Western Australia is the country of the Noongar people. Poornarti Aboriginal Tours, currently the only Aboriginal tour operator in the region, will bring the country of the Noongar people to life for you through deeply immersive, intimate and interactive experiences and activities.

Poornarti Aboriginal Tours has sprung from the passion of Aboriginal Elder and Law man Joey Williams and his drive to share his Noongar culture and knowledge. Joey learned the ways of his people by spending time with his father and listening to his stories and Joey’s mother Joan passed on her intimate knowledge of bush tucker and medicine.

Through instruction from his renowned Noongar artist Auntie Bella Kelly, Joey himself has become talented in this field and has won numerous art awards. Joey has also mastered the ancient technique of vibrational healing passed onto him through his

ancestral lineage. Listening to the old songs of country has also inspired Joey to write and sing his own traditional Noongar music and songs.

Poornarti Aboriginal Tours invites you to reconnect to the essence of country and yourself, to travel and camp with us and learn of the ancient culture of this land. Listen to stories of Dreamtime and culture, step upon the Earth and dance, embrace the elements, yarn by the fire, taste the tucker, sense the wind, the water, the heat and the smoke, feel the power of ceremony, and learn of Noongar ways of life, spirit and art.
