- Abstract
The Sydney's Birthplace Walk is a heritage walking tour that is freely available as an enhanced podcast. It is based on an existing walking tour developed by Heritage Engineer, Michael Clarke, and describes the places, people and engineers that established modern Sydney. Set in the historic Rocks area, the two and a half hour tour provides listeners with just over an hour and a quarter of content, consisting of audio commentary, still photographs, navigation instructions, maps and background audio. User centred design strategies were adopted in the analysis phase to understand the context in which the original walking tour was presented. This paper discusses the design, development and production of an enhanced podcast highlighting the importance of the copyright issues surrounding the release. Availability via the iTunes Store podcast section will also be described. The paper further explores the future of personal mobile and location aware devices for advocacy and education in heritage engineering.
