A new ‘Mt Wilson Historic Village Walk App’ has been launched

In summary, the App is a smartphone/tablet GPS-based audio-visual tour of Mt Wilson narrated by long-term resident, Sarah Howell.  The App guides the user through the fascinating and often entertaining history of Mt Wilson village, introducing them to the unique cast of characters who played an important role in the village’s formative years from the late 1800s through to WWII.  The key features are :

  • GPS-enabled, guiding the user from stop-to-stop
  • 22 individual historical sites of interest
  • 15 audio-recorded narratives
  • Historical photographs from the Historical Society’s archives included throughout

The App is available for download in both the Apple and GooglePlay stores.  (Just search ‘Mount Wilson’ in either App store and it should appear near the top of the search results.)

Development and publishing of the App was made possible by the FRRR’s grants programme (Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal).
