Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Great Otway tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“You're coming up on Otway Fly Treetop Adventures, where a steel walkway takes you about twenty-five metres above the forest floor.”
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 Great Otway.
“Memorial Arch at Eastern View is coming up, a timber gateway over the Great Ocean Road. Make it a quick stop for the bronze roadworkers beside it, commemorating the returned servicemen who built the road.”
Heads up No public toilets.
“Teddy's Lookout is coming up above Lorne, with a view of the Great Ocean Road curving around the St George River mouth. This is a good short stop for seeing how the road fits into the coast.”
Heads up The climb from Lorne is steep, and the turning area may challenge large vehicles.
“Erskine Falls is coming up, with a thirty-metre drop into a rockpool surrounded by ferns. For the closer view, take the stairs to the base platform and allow about half an hour for the return walk.”
Heads up The closer base view involves steep stairs and slippery footing after rain

From the App Store
“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!”

“Loved it after I figured out how to use the app, the information was very interesting and the automatic play as you drive was very convenient. The map came in handy too when we lost connection on our GPS. Thank you!”
