Every town has a yarn.
Audio stories for the road, 10 minutes before you arrive. Short audio stories about the towns and landmarks on your road trip. Your phone tells you about each place about 10 minutes before you get there.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android.
How it works
Pick your road
The Great Ocean Road, the Bruce Highway, Tasmania's East Coast and more. Or just start driving.
Drive
Before each town, your phone says "You're arriving at..." while the app is open on screen.
Tap to listen
Nothing plays until you press Play.
Arrival alerts need location on and the app open on screen. Your location stays on your phone.
