Meet Josh
Kaya! Meet Josh Whiteland.
Born in Busselton, Western Australia, Josh grew up with a deep understanding of his culture and connection to the land. His passion for his rich heritage is reflected in his commitment to cultural education and environmental sustainability in the Cape to Cape region, where he actively works with schools and communities to share the stories of his land and Elders.
‘Koomal’ is Josh’s traditional Wadandi name, and is also the name for the brushtail possum, the totem chosen for him by his Wadandi Elders – and so Koomal Dreaming was born.
A master of didgeridoo, percussion, and traditional song and dance, Josh brings his culture to life in his tours in an immersive experience that engages all of your senses and will stay with you long after you leave.

Fantastic tour by Josh with amazing food, beautiful caves and in depth knowledge of the area and history of the aboriginal people of the region.
Thank you Josh! Today’s experience was awesome. We are all feeling positive here on the bus right now. You have a depth of knowledge and experience. Thank you for sharing with us and making it interactive. :)
10 of my family members participated in the twilight tour of Ngilgi Cave. The cave and the Didgeridoo playing and story telling by Josh was excellent. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Josh and team for an excellent afternoon outing.
Shared this wonderful experience with my 13yo daughter and it's one of the most lovely and memorable things we have done within Australia. I would love every West Australian and every visitor here to have the privilege of experiencing this. Spending this time on country and Josh's knowledge as a proud Wadandi man was just incredible and I've been recommending it to everyone.
Josh gives an interesting and informative talk. We bring our students here every year to learn about the local customs and history.
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.
My partner and I attended Josh's Twilight Didgeridoo Cave Tour and had a fantastic time. Josh's knowledge was incredible and gave us a new perspective on the Australian Bushland. The didgeridoo performance in the heart of the cave was breathtaking. Highly recommend to anyone who is visiting the South West Region! Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with us, Josh!
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 was recently visiting Yallingup for a week and this tour was my highlight of my time there.... which is saying a lot given how beautiful everything in this part of the world is! Josh from Koomal Dreaming was incredibly knowledgeable and was so generous in answering all the questions we all had. This tour is a 'must-do' for any one visiting the area ... You walk away with a renewed perspective and deeper apprection of the land you are walking on. I would do this tour again and plan to bring friends and family along next time.
I went to spend some time with Josh as a part of my tourism work - and I was absolutely blown away by the experience. Great knowledge, incredible stories and a didgeridoo performance that gave me chills. Highly recommended
The tour was very interesting and was the perfect balance of learning about the local Aboriginal culture, tools and traditions, exploring the Ngili caves and trying delicious bush tucker. Josh is a great guide who is very knowledgable and kind in sharing his culture and traditions. Highly recommended!
We had a great time with Josh, we were amazed at the amount of knowledge we got that day , and the artefacts that we saw were also great and on the plus side Josh is a amazing musician
A must for locals as well as those visiting the South West Region! Enriching, educational and enjoyable. Many thanks Josh
This was an excellent little adventure. Packed with information and will never forget the caves and the didgeridoo performance by josh. Highly recommend.
