Freshwater Cove, Western Australia, Australia

Wiggingarra Butt Butt (Freshwater Cove) lies on the mainland adjacent to Montgomery Reef. Named appropriately, as fresh water pours from out the ground all year round, making this an ideal area for a traditional camp. 

The area is managed in partnership with the Damibmangari traditional owners, who have strong cultural connections to the Lalang-garram / Camden Sound Marine Park and Montgomery Islands.

EXPEDITION SHORE EXCURSION

Cultural Visit Ashore, hosted by the Wunambal Gaambera Traditional Landowners 

Join your expedition team today for a Zodiac shuttle ashore. Once ashore you will be welcomed by the  Landowners, the Wunambal Gaambera people, in a traditional face painting ceremony. We then head off on a well-marked path, to a rock overhang and a significant gallery of Wandjina and dreamtime art. The Expedition Team will guide you ashore on a moderate walk of about 2 -2.5km (1.5m). The Traditional Landowners will provide vivid interpretation of the incredible artwork and the associated dream time stories that are so critical to understanding the history and early life in the Kimberley region.  Upon our return to the beach, we will be sent on our way with a traditional smoke ceremony, wishing us a good and safe onward journey.
