Enjoy an audio tour of Baw Baw

Local residents and tourist can now uncover intriguing sites and stories with a free audio tour of Baw Baw tourism attractions.
The new tours allow locals and visitors to listen to immersive podcast-style audio featuring the voices and stories of local people who know the area best.

Baw Baw Shire Council has partnered with Storytowns to develop "The Baw Baw Audio Tour". The 13-part series guides tours of towns including Noojee, Trafalgar and Walhalla, attractions including Toorongo Falls and Walhalla Cricket Ground, and nine short-form signposts including Blue Rock Lake, Mt Worth State Park and Narracan Falls.
The tours are designed to guide the traveller on a deep dive through the area, uncovering intriguing sites and stories guided by the geo-located Storytowns App, which plays stories automatically when near the various attractions.
Learn more about attractions such as the Bower Bird sculpture at Neerim South, one of the world's largest museums of its kind in Trafalgar's Holden Museum, Walhalla's historic cemetery filled with peculiar stories and characters, and local icon the Noojee dinosaur.
"This creative platform will not only support visitation to the different attractions and sites we have here in Baw Baw Shire, but it will enhance awareness of the local creative and cultural experiences through the voices of locals," Baw Baw Shire mayor Annemarie McCabe said.
"As the weather warms up and we begin planning our summer holiday trips, I highly encourage visitors and locals to download the free Storytowns app and check them out."
This project was made possible with a $10,000 grant from the Federal Government's Regional Arts Fund under the targeted marketing scheme through the Cultural Tourism Activation Fund, in addition to a council contribution of $10,000.
