Wander on Country with Off The Beaten Track WA and Dabungool Cultural Experiences for an exclusive collaborative GROUNDED experience!

You’ll experience an immersive 2.5km hike from Lucky Bay to Thistle Cove led by OTBT’s award-winning Guides. Here, the team from Dabungool will welcome you to Wudjari Country and take you for a walk on Kepa Kurl Boodja sharing their cultural knowledge that’s been passed down from one generation to the next for thousands of generations.

You’ll listen to some cultural Dreaming stories whilst you enjoy a bush tucker grazing board and some freshly made bush tea.

As the sun starts to sink into the horizon, you’ll walk back to Lucky Bay arriving at dusk to see the bay transform from daylight to twilight.
