Canberra Tracks heritage interpretation—10 years on Following on the article in Heritage in Trust in November 2014 regarding the ANU’s Mt Stromlo Heritage Trail app, Linda Roberts introduces us to the new ACT Government app for Heritage Trails. An exciting collaboration with the University of Canberra has brought to life many of the signs placed on the eight self-drive heritage trails in the ACT. A new app for mobile technology such as smartphones and iPads scans Canberra Tracks panels to reveal stories and connect us to our many-layered past. This downloadable content shows short videos created by tertiary students. Have I lost you with the terms ‘downloadable’ and ‘app’? With technology galloping ahead, heritage interpretation needs to gather the reins and use modern digital forms of communication Heritage Trust to stay relevantinand engage with a broaderwww.nationaltrust.org.au audience.
