About

Billy Camp

Features
Read full description

Billy Camp is for the camps worth remembering. Seize a Moment where you actually stayed: a pin on the map, your own note, your own photos. Moments stay private on your device by default, and none of it leaves unless you decide it should. When a camp is worth passing on, share it. Billy Camp publishes a Camp Spot to the public map and makes a short video of the trip right on your phone, from the photos you picked and the words you wrote. No AI narration and no generated footage, and the finished video is never uploaded to our servers. You choose photo by photo what goes public and what stays inside the clip, and you can unpublish a Camp Spot at any time. When you publish a Camp Spot, its selected photos, notes and exact pin become public. Underneath it all is a practical campground map built on Australian government and council source data. Check access notes, restrictions, facilities, and source links before you roll in. Billy Camp draws on active official sources for updates where they are available, and says so plainly when it cannot verify current conditions. Save the camps worth going back to, browse what is nearby without leaving the map, and keep the trip. No account needed.

About

Alpine Huts Australia

Read full description

Discover 126 of the historic mountain huts of the Australian Alps — the cattlemen's slab huts, ski-touring shelters, gold-rush relics and snow-survival refuges scattered across Kosciuszko, Namadgi, the Victorian high country and the Tasmanian highlands. Tap any hut on the map to hear its story read aloud: who built it, what it sheltered, the fires it survived, and what stands today. Everything works fully offline, so the stories play even deep in the backcountry where there's no phone signal — on a high-country drive, a 4WD track, or a long walk in to a snow-gum hut. Browse all 126 across New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and Tasmania, see how to reach each one, and let a hut's story begin automatically as you arrive. • 126 huts, mapped with GPS — find the nearest one • Original narrated histories for every hut • Fully offline — no signal needed, ever • Auto-play a hut's story as you arrive (optional) • Save your favourites for trip planning Free to explore three featured huts — Craigs Hut, Wallaces Hut and Seamans Hut. One simple unlock opens the full collection of 126 — no subscription, ever.
