Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Blue Mountains tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“You're approaching the access for Lincoln's Rock, a broad sandstone ledge overlooking Jamison Valley. A short unpaved walk from the car park takes you onto the rock.”
Real stops, real narration
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in the Blue Mountains.
“Up ahead is Scenic World, where rides take you across the cliffs and down into Jamison Valley. I'd choose it if you want to experience the valley from above and below without a long bushwalk.”
Heads up Queues can take a substantial part of the visit on busy days.
“You're nearing the Katoomba Falls and Cascades area, where you can choose a short look at the river or a longer waterfall walk. The Cascades are low falls over rock shelves, reached by a short path with steps.”
Heads up Many steps make the lower waterfall routes tiring.
“You're coming up on Wentworth Falls picnic area, the starting point for a close look at the waterfall.”
Heads up Steep stairs make the return climb more demanding than the distance suggests.

“We just used the app this morning on our drive around Cades Cove and it provided a lot of info along the way and greatly enhanced our experience! And to top it off, we saw a female black bear and her two cubs just before the halfway point!”
