“Be careful where you put your feet, because as we say, you’re walking all over our history” (Uncle Colin Hunter)

The Yalinguth app is a unique and immersive way to experience the history of significant places from an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspective. In the Woi Wurrung language Yalinguth means “yesterday”, and echoes the sentiments of many Elders that “we need to go back, before we can go forwards”.

This multi award-winning self-guided walking tour app provides an immersive audio-augmented reality experience. You’ll hear geo-located stories from many notable Elders, music, and atmospheric soundscapes as you wander along. Stories are shared in this spatialised sound environment in such an intimate way, it’s as if the Elders are right there with you.

Charge up your phone, download the app (preferably over Wi-Fi), grab your headphones (the best experience by far with headphones!), and head to one of two Yalinguth locations:
Gertrude Street in Fitzroy, Melbourne
Birrarung/Yarra River, Melbourne CBD
(see specific tours for more info about each site).

Further locations will be added over time – watch this space.
