About this app
Yalinguth (“yesterday” in Woi Wurrung) is a mobile app/ audio augmented reality experience that connects people to place and history through geo-located soundscapes and stories told by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. In keeping with oral traditions, and to minimise screens, Yalinguth is expressed entirely through sound. The overall premise of Yalinguth is guided by the words of the Elders that “we need to go back, to go forwards”.
Yalinguth aims to connect students, tourists, and the local community with important firsthand historical accounts, increasing people’s knowledge of the Aboriginal history of Victoria. The purpose is to increase empathy, respect, community connection, and to celebrate the Elders who paved the way for Aboriginal Rights in Victoria and Australia. With this, Yalinguth aims to contribute to the processes of truth telling, healing and reconciliation.
Yalinguth contains two separate audio walks in Melbourne, Australia: the first to launch was the birthplace of the rights movement, Gertrude Street in Fitzroy; and the second along the Birrarung/Yarra River in the Melbourne CBD.
Yalinguth can only be heard once you are at these locations and is best experienced with headphones.

This is a fantastic experience. The narratives and perspectives given create a rich historical tapestry. Not only is this an excellent execution of the idea but more than that it is an important historical document. If I could rate it higher I would!

I heard from you through Atlas of the future and I must say that this is an INCREDIBLE immersive experience that everyone must live. The music, the sounds and everything became extremely real. I've really heard and felt the land. Amazing job guys, you deserve the best. From Barcelona with love

Very informative app. Thank you for taking the time to make it. It's helped me be a little less ignorant about the world around me.

This version adds a new set of stories to Yalinguth, including a new story walk along the north bank of the Birrarung in Naarm (the Yarra River in the Melbourne CBD).
