Yalinguth is an award winning First Nations audio walking tour app.
About important history told through story, song and soundscapes.
By Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Stories and sounds are geolocated.
Download the app, grab your headphones and visit one of two Yalinguth locations:
Ngár-go/ Fitzroy – along iconic Gertrude Street
Birrarung/ Yarra River – in the CBD from Enterprize Park to the MCG
These immersive audio tours share recollections by local Elders of moments where their collective lives have intersected with these sites. They are at times confronting and sad, but also funny, intimate, and warm. You'll hear music, poetry, stories, archival recordings and atmospheric soundscapes as you journey through time, connecting you with these places in a new and meaningful way.
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”.

Note: The app is available 24/7, but NAIDOC is a great reason to put aside some time to walk with Yalinguth:)
