2. LiveTrekker: track your journey

It’s fun to be on the road, but it’s even more fun if you can share it with your friends and family. LiveTrekker lets you do just that. You can track your journey, see your route on the map and even add your pictures, videos or recordings to the places you’ve visited.

If you upload it directly, it will automatically add it to the right place on the map. Do you want to remember or share that sound that the koala’s make at night? Or share the video of that time you got stuck with your 4WD in the mud? You can share your trip afterwards or real time with your friends and family.

3. Australian bites and stings

Safety first! The chance of something happening is not very big, however, if something does happen, it’s better to be prepared and to know what to do. This app has some tips on preparation and planning for your trip to reduce the chance of getting bitten or stung by nasty critters.
