Big Things AU: Driving Stories

About this app

Drive anywhere in Australia. We'll tell you the stories. Big Things plays AI-narrated stories about the places you're driving past — the giant prawn at Ballina, the colonial prison at Port Arthur, the strange and spectacular along Australia's roads — automatically, while you drive. WHAT'S INSIDE 105 of Australia's iconic Big Things — the Big Banana, the Big Merino, the Big Prawn, and dozens you've never heard of 42 convict-era heritage sites — UNESCO sites and state heritage register entries, told with respect for the human stories behind them Hands-free audio playback — your only job is to drive Works offline — no signal, no problem (built for regional Australia) Directions to every site — open any Big Thing in Google Maps with one tap NEW: GET DIRECTIONS Heard a story but can't spot the Big Thing? Tap Directions to open turn-by-turn navigation straight to it in Google Maps — perfect when you're passing through an unfamiliar town. ASK SIRI Just say "Big Things AU, what's nearby" and Siri names your nearest Big Thing and how far it is — without opening the app. Hands-free, eyes on the road.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
