Dreamtime SouthernX Pty Ltd is privately owned by Aboriginal People. It offers a suite of tailored products and services for tourism and education markets, that are grounded in Aboriginal cultural experiences of being greeted-welcomed to country, walking or travelling over ancient Aboriginal pathways tracing the ever-present Dreamtime of Sydney, delivered via a series of outdoor learning in continuity with nature/seasons, walking or travelling by bus or with a welcome to country.

Dreamtime Southern X operates in one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities – Sydney, and has the added advantage of being a part of the most ancient human culture on Earth: the Aboriginal Peoples Dreamtime.

Dreamtime Southern X was founded and is managed by Margret Campbell, a Dunghutti-Jerrinjah elder. Margret’s reputation has led to her being recognised as a Tourism Champion by Tourism Australia, Destination NSW, and Indigenous Business Council, and endorsed by the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) Supply Nation and the Indigenous Business Chamber of Commerce.

The evolution, integrity and authenticity of Dreamtime Southern X products is inspired by Margret’s desire to build a mutual understanding and resilient respect between all Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people grounded on a deep, enduring connection to the Australian landscape.
