The first two of Glebe Walks have been converted to audio walks, available on the izi.TRAVEL app. The walks now available are People and Places in Early Glebe (called Politicians, Publicans and Sinners on the GlebeWalks website) and Glebe Waterfront Walk. You can now listen to them, as well as following the route on an interactive map and reading the text.

You can download the free izi.TRAVEL app from an app store to your smart phone or tablet. Then open the app and press on Explore. When you have chosen your Glebe Walk you can go to the map and the audio can be played for each stop, or will start automatically as you get close to each stop. You will have a better listening experience if you use headphones. Try it out yourself, and recommend it to visitors to Glebe.  A third walk, Early Glebe Architects, will be available in a few weeks, as will a Balmain walk.

Izi.TRAVEL is based in the Netherlands and the app contains audio guides for many European cities and museums as well as other cultural attractions. They are expanding to Australia, but you will find many opportunities to use the app if you are travelling in Europe
