Yalinguth Ngár-go/Fitzroy

Carlton, Victoria

Take a journey to Melbourne’s iconic inner-city Fitzroy (known as Ngár-go in the Woi Wurrung language) via an augmented audio app called Yalinguth. It’s an immersive geolocated audio experience about the important Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history of Gertrude Street. Did you know this is where the Rights Movement began for First Peoples, in Melbourne’s iconic Fitzroy! This Yalinguth walk is made up of many spoken stories, songs, poems, and atmospheric soundscapes. You’ll discover birdsong that once filled the Melbourne air, a local protest recorded years ago in that location, and musicians and storytellers such as Uncle Jack Charles and Uncle Archie Roach. Charge your phone, download the app (preferably over wi-fi), grab your headphones and head to Fitzroy for an unforgettable day of immersive storytelling, and some great re-fuelling pit-stops along the way. (There is approximately 3 hours of content in the app that you can dip in and out of) For a ‘beginning feel’ head to the Fig Tree, near the corner of Gertrude and Nicholson Streets. There is a brass plaque at its base. Easily accessible via the 86 Tram Route (Stop 13), close to the Melbourne Museum just north of the city.
