Our Goomup Tour offers
visitors a glimpse into
Whadjuk culture on the
banks of the Derbal Yerigan.

Join your Noongar guides on an insightful journey into Perth’s Aboriginal past. Less than two centuries ago, Perth’s skyscrapers and bustling streets were the site of forgotten great lakes and well worn tracks that connected family settlements, hunting grounds and cultural sacred places. From the banks of the Derbal Yerigan (Swan River) we invite you to explore the Aboriginal history of Perth from Dreamtime to colonisation and beyond to present day.

Goomup (Elizabeth Quay) Walking Tour

Offering a glimpse into the world's oldest living culture through ancient Dreamtime stories, traditional songs and Noongar language, this relaxing walking tour is guaranteed to surprise and entertain. Learn how the natural world, the six seasons and elements have influenced the day to day lives of Noongar People, determining their unique spiritual connection to this boodjar (mother earth or country).

What to bring: hat, water, umbrella (if required) and wear sunscreen.
