Big Australia Bucket List

Absolutely EVERYTHING to see, do and experience in Australia

25 BEST Australia Travel Apps (RoadTrips, Camping, Drinks etc!)

All hail the interweb! Although there certainly are good points and bad points when it comes to an unlimited flow of information, it’s safe to say that in the travel space, travel planning has never been easier. And when it comes to Australia, with its size and wealth of things to see, do and experience in every corner, downloading a set of helpful travel apps is an absolute must.

But in a jam-packed mobile app store and multiple apps seemingly doing the same thing, it can be tough to know where to start and what you really need. And that’s where we come in. We’ve collected our favourite Australian travel apps that we recommend any visitor to Australia (and even Aussies themselves!) download that help make travel planning in Oz a breeze.

Whether you are road tripping, camping, or flying, there are apps to help you find the best deals, routes and fares. While in a destination there are apps for finding your nearest happy hour for discount food and drink, find your zen on the nation’s beaches or stargaze with an astronomy app (and actually know what you are looking at!). And when it comes to managing your money on your travels, we’ve got you covered with budgeting, spending trackers, and receipt logging apps.

The possibilities are endless so to help you narrow down exactly what you need, we’ve grouped them into sections such as must-have Australian Apps, the best apps for an Australian road trip, helpful travel apps for managing your money and, finally, generally the best travel apps that can be used and utilized in any country. And best of all – most of these are also the best free travel apps on the market. So scroll down and start downloading!

Must-Have Australia Travel Apps (Camping, Happy Hour, Flights etc)

The happiest hour.

The app also helps users track down happy hour-related food deals, from pizza and pasta to dumplings and almost everything in between. Obviously, the bigger (and busier) the Australian city, the more options the app will display.

Available on both Google Play for Android devices and the App Store for iPhones .

Wikicamps Australia

Kept up to date by users as they travel, it is an ever-growing resource packed with invaluable information – making it one of the Top Travel Apps in Australia. And with the offline map function, it’s the perfect app for finding all things camping (and road trip) related. Easily one of the most useful travel apps in Australia. Download it now (on Android or iPhone ) and start planning your next Aussie adventure.

What you may not realise is that not Australian beaches are suitable for swimming and that’s where Beachsafe comes in. Brought to you by the Australian Surf Life Saving Association, you can search every beach for weather, hazards and water. Although they won’t always have information on dangerous rips, and so we recommend you swim at patrolled beaches between the distinctive red and yellow flags at all times.

Available in the Play Store & App Store – it is a must-have app for travelling in Australia.

The Outbound Collective

It’s the perfect inspirational app for exploring nature near to you when you’re not sure what you want to do or have landed in a new destination and are feeling a little uninspired. It’s one of the best free travel apps for exploring Australia and is available on iPhone and Android . (There’s also a tours and lodging tab – but we recommend sticking with just the local adventures. There are better apps for hotels & tours!)

Dawn Patrol

While the Dawn Patrol app (linked to your Apple Watch) is really not necessary when you’re trying to catch your first wave, for those who are at home on a board, it can be a great way to track each session in the water and records details about the break, how many waves you catch, how far you travel etc.

Although it’s not free, for a small monthly subscription you can have a range of TV and movies at your fingertips. Download a selection of movies and TV before you head off on your next adventure (using your home internet, rather than data!) – and stay entertained even when the Wifi is weak. (Available on both iPhone & Android)

AllTrails have over 200,000 curated trail maps around the world – with over 7000 of them available for Australia.

Get inspired by local walking and biking trails and nature opportunities near you, and read user reviews and tips to find out what to know before you set off. The maps can be downloaded and used to track your adventures in real-time (if you don’t mind paying the annual fee), or can be used for free via mobile data while you’re out and about. You can even use the GPS on your phone to track your trails – which may help you retrace your steps if you get lost!

Free Wifi Finder

You can also use the tracking functions to monitor proposed routes and the app will send you a notification when it’s the perfect time to grab a bargain.

StarTracker

If you’re heading out into the country, the outback or just one of our incredible national parks, the StarTracker app is great fun for exploring the stars at night. Simply open the app, point your phone’s camera to the sky, and the app will tell you what you are looking at. Stars, planets, or constellations – it’s hours of fun.

(You can also point the phone at the ground and see what stars are on the other side of the world!) Get the App in the Playstore or AppStore .

Top Travel Apps for an Australian Road Trip

Roadtrippers.

Plan your route, find attractions along the way, estimate driving times – RoadTrippers is a favourite road trip travel app has been the go-to app across the globe for putting together itineraries for years. Is invaluable when it comes to navigating the outback on our Aussie roads. Download the app here .

The real-time reporting of traffic accidents or simply, more traffic than normal, means the app gives you the quickest route, even after you have selected your destination. And if you have a trip scheduled for the next day, the app will alert you if there has been an unusual incident on your route and if you need to leave earlier.

The app also has a rideshare/carpool function, so even if you are not driving yourself, you can use the app to find others heading your way and share the fuel costs; or offer up a spare seat if you have one. You can download the app on iOS and Android here .

Pus, one of my favourite features – lots of viewpoints and points of interest built into the app that you can preview to decide if you want to stop along your way.

It’s one of the best free travel apps on the list. Download it on Google Play or the App Store .

Fuel Map Australia

Toilet Finder

Free Travel Apps for Managing Your Money On the Road

Trail wallet (ios) or travel spend (ios/android).

For those wanting something just for receipts, we recommend Smart Receipts. This is particularly good for grouping expenses into lists that work for you (destination, category etc)

Travel Spend is similar to Trail Wallet in terms of spending tracking, adding expenses on the go and keeping track of your budget – and is the best alternative for those who are Android devotees.

XE Currency Converter

The exchange rates are live where you are connected to the internet – and where you are not, it uses the rate saved from the last time you opened the app. (Our top tip if you are relying on hotel wifi – open the app just before you leave your hotel for the day so your app exchange rates are never more than a few hours old.)

The XE Currency App also offers international money transfers, however for the best rates we recommend using Wise – whom you can also get a travel credit card for which lets you hold multiple currencies. This allows you to spend in whichever currency you like, and convert cash at the best rate at any given time.

The Best Travel Apps for Australia (and beyond!)

Whatsapp / facebook messenger.

TripIt: Travel Planner

The app will group together and organise activities and tickets that fall within the date ranges of any return flights, and will track your travels as time passes. The app can also pull tickets out and log them automatically from your email when you link it to the app, and you can manually add them if it misses any.

For busy travel periods, this app is invaluable and as all your trips are stored in the app, can help you keep track of all your past adventures too.

Wherever you are in Australia, it is of vital importance that everyone has the opportunity to get home safely, and rideshare apps such as Uber and Ola offer the ability for guests to track their drivers, their route and even share their current location with others.

We recommend having both downloaded and checking your fare on each before making a booking. Depending on surge charging at any given time, one app may be significantly cheaper than the other. (I also love that your Ola account earns you Velocity frequent flyer points, but I’m just a big points geek! )

Google Translate

Sky Scanner

That’s a wrap, we hope our Australia travel guide to the best Australian Apps for Travel has shown you exactly what mobile apps will help when it comes to exploring Australia. And If you have planned your trip with an Australian travel app that isn’t on the list, be sure to let us know in the comments so we can add it!

Travel Apps Australia – RESOURCES

Fuel map australia.

Fuel Map Australia is the app to have for finding petrol stations, checking fuel prices and logging your own kilometres and fuel usage.

The information uploaded to Fuel Map is crowd-sourced when it comes to petrol stations and pricing. So, the latest fuel prices are only as current as the latest review.

However the fuel prices listed for the WA (Western Australia) fuel stations are up-to-date as they’re automatically updated via FuelWatch .

Fuel Map Australia FEATURES:

• Find petrol stations on the map
• View last known fuel prices
• Log kms travelled, fuel usage, fuel budget & average consumption

The Fuel Log feature is extremely handy as a road trip app, for keeping track of how much you’ve spent on fuel, how many kilometres you’ve travelled, plus working out your average consumption (fuel economy).

Gas Finder (Refills & Swaps)

The Gas Finder app (created by WikiCamps) is another one of our best apps for travelling Australia. You can use it to find the nearest locations for gas bottle refills and swaps, plus check out the latest prices.

Remember, as with any crowd-sourced app, the information provided is based on what other users input. So, the last pricing recorded may not be the most current, but is often a good guide.

If you do a lot of off-grid camping or cooking with gas, then you’ll want to be able to source out gas bottle refills on the go. We generally went through a 9kg gas bottle per fortnight while free camping in the caravan (using it for cooking and hot water).

Australia Post

The Australia Post tracking app is designed for you to easily add in new delivery addresses and track your parcels.

Getting mail and parcels delivered on the road may feel like a headache, but it’s actually really easy with the 24/7 Parcel Locker system. For the smaller towns that don’t have parcel lockers, Post Offices will hold your parcel for up to two weeks for you.

Using the app to track your mail means that you can stay in contact with relevant Post Offices regarding when you can get there to collect.

For more info on receiving mail on the road, check out the following article.

Australia Post FEATURES:

• Track parcels
• Give parcels nicknames
• See estimated delivery times
• Find nearby Post Offices
• Pay bills with Post Billpay
• Utilise 24/7 Parcel Lockers
• Redirect parcels to different locker/ post office

National Public Toilet Map

The National Public Toilet Map app is a huge FREE database of 19,000+ public toilets around Australia.

National Public Toilet Map FEATURES:

• Nearby toilets
• Opening hours
• Accessibility
• Facilities (e.g. showers, baby change, sharps disposal)
• Set your preferences
• Map directions/ location list

Bear in mind, that if you’re using WikiCamps or Campermate, you can use those apps to find toilets, so you may not need to download this additional app.

Playground Finder

Playground Finder will give you access to the locations of thousands of playgrounds around Australia. Find playgrounds close to where you are and look ahead to find playgrounds in locations that you’ll be visiting.

If you do a lot of family travel to major towns and cities, this app could be very useful for helping to find playgrounds to stretch the kids legs.

Playground Finder FEATURES:

• Find nearby playgrounds on the map
• Search by suburb
• Features, reviews, photos, locations and directions

If you plan on hitting some off-road tracks, Hema Maps are the best map apps for travelling Australia! There are a few different Hema mapping options available, so make sure you do your research to find the right one to suit you.

In this age of technology, it’s also important to have some good old paper maps on hand as well. If your device dies or you’re out of service before you realise you forgot to download offline maps, you’re literally up the track without a map!

Hema offer a fantastic range of very detailed paper maps, such as the ones below. Check out the full range to find one to suit your needs.

Travel Apps Australia – COMMUNICATION

A really great FREE travelling app for staying in touch with loved ones at home is WhatsApp, especially if you don’t want to use social media for this purpose.

Through the app you can make use of voice calls, video calls and messaging. Not only can you directly message a single person, but you can also create group chats.

All that’s required, once you download the app, is a wifi or data connection, with all messaging and calls being free across the world.

WhatsApp FEATURES:

• Group chats
• Video calls
• Voice calls
• Voice messages
• Document sharing (up to 100 MB)

Messenger is a FREE chat service that’s connected to Facebook. Once upon a time, you didn’t need to have a Facebook account to utilise Messenger, but these days you do (unless you’ve had a FB account in the past).

Quickly and easily staying in touch with friends and family is as easy as sending a message through Messenger. You can also send photos and start group chats for multiple people.

Messenger FEATURES:

• Create ‘Rooms’ (video chat)
• Photo and video sharing

I think by this stage we’re all well aware of what Facebook is as a social media platform. Facebook is a fantastic app to update your friends and family with photos and thoughts of your travel experiences.

It’s also a great way to let people know where you are and where you’re heading. So, if something should go wrong or if people haven’t heard from you for a while, they can use the information that you’ve posted on Facebook to help find you.

Above all, jumping onto Facebook and engaging with your friends and family at home can quell some of the disconnection you may feel from being away from everybody for so long.

Facebook FEATURES:

• Posting photos and videos
• Interacting with loved ones
• Sharing content (articles, memes, photos etc.)

For those who are more photo-based, then Instagram is the go. Being much less ‘wordy’ than FB, on Insta it’s all about the glorious images!

Staying connected with loved ones and sharing photos of the amazing places you visit in your travels is easy with Instagram. You also have the option of chatting with people privately through Direct Message (DM).

Something really great about Instagram is being able to connect with people you don’t even know, but share common interests with. You may even find people through the app that you can meet up with on the road!

Instagram FEATURES:

• Sharing images & videos
• Adding short ‘stories’
• Interacting with like-minds & loved ones
• Using tags to search for topics of interest

Travel Apps Australia – SAFETY

Emergency plus.

The Emergency Plus app has been created in collaboration with Australian Emergency Services and the Government and is completely FREE to download.

The purpose of the app is to help emergency services find your exact location in the event of an emergency. Using the in-built GPS in your smart phone, you can pinpoint your exact location to pass onto the Triple Zero (000) call attendant.

Emergency Plus FEATURES:

• Gives you exact GPS details to pass onto emergency services

First Aid (by St Johns Ambulance)

The FREE First Aid app by St Johns Ambulance provides a host of critical first aid information, right in the palm of your hand. You don’t need to be trained in any first aid to use this app, all information is simple and provided in layman’s terms.

First Aid topics included:

• Allergic reaction
• Asthma attack
• Bites & stings
• Defibrillation
• Diabetic emergency
• Recovery position
• Removal of helmet
• Severe bleeding
• Sprains & strains

Fires Near Me

The Fires Near Me app could be a life-saving resource for travelling Australia. We certainly used it many times during our travels throughout the 2020 bush fires in New South Wales.

On the app you can set a locational distance around you (example, a 20km radius), where alerts will pop up if a fire is detected in your area. This could be anything from a grass fire to a bush fire. You can also use the app to receive warning and incident information, related to fires.

Each state has their own version of the app, depending on what the state fire service has created.

Various Bushfire Apps:

• Alert SA (FREE)
• QLD Fires ($0.99 – $1.99)
• TAS Fires ($0.99 $1.99)
• VIC Emergency (FREE)
• WA Fires ($1.49)
• Fires Near Me NSW (FREE)

BOM (Bureau of Meterology)

The BOM (Bureau of Meterology) app is an Australia-wide weather resource. Use it to check the forecasts for your current area (or anywhere across Australia) and watch the rain radars.

Knowing the type of weather that’s on the way can help determine if you should just pull the awning in and sit tight, or if you’re able to carry on with your journey.

BOM FEATURES:

• Temperature
• Possible rainfall
• Wind speed & direction
• Sunrise & sunset times
• UV and moon phase
• Tides forecast
• Fire danger rating
• Weather warnings

Weatherzone

Weatherzone is one of the most popular weather apps, especially for travelling Australia. You can lock in specific towns and locations to keep an eye on their weather and temperatures. Plus, make full use of weather alerts, forecasts, rain radars and marine forecasts.

Weatherzone FEATURES:

• Temperature with ‘Real Feel’
• Wind/ gusts
• Pressure & air quality
• Hourly forecast
• 10-day forecast
• Weather warnings & alerts
• Marine & surf forecasts

If you plan on visiting the beach a lot while on the road, Beachsafe is the one of the best apps for travelling Australian coastlines.

Aside from finding the nearest beaches, you can gain information on which ones are patrolled, as well as what the swell and tide is like. If you’re looking for beaches with toilet and shower facilities, this app will help with that as well.

Beachsafe FEATURES:

• Find nearest beaches
• Patrol status
• Swell & tide

Australian Bites and Stings

With Australia being home to so many venomous critters, it’s essential that you know how to deal with various bites and stings while on a road trip. The Australian Bites and Stings app is FREE and can be downloaded onto your device for offline use.

Learn what to do in the event of being stung or bitten by a venomous snake, spider, jellyfish or other aquatic creature. Apply the first aid and seek medical help!

Australian Bites and Stings FEATURES:

• First aid instructions
• Step-by-step guide to DRABC
• Step-by-step guide to the Pressure Immobilisation Technique
• Info, pictures & distribution maps
• Safety checklists
• Audio resuscitation guide

Travel Apps Australia – ENTERTAINMENT

Spotify is one of the best apps for travelling Australia when it comes to audio and music streaming.

With the FREE version you can listen to as much music as you like, but it’s more of a ‘shuffle’ mode. The downside of this basic version is that you have to listen to ads and you only get a limited number of times per hour that you can skip songs.

Upgrade to Spotify Premium to pre-download music for offline use, no ads and the ability to listen to whichever songs you like (with unlimited skipping).

The YouTube app pretty much provides an endless amount of viewing and listening entertainment. You can literally search for any topic you like and get lost in the variety of content that shows up.

YouTube will only work with an online connection, unless you pay to upgrade to Premium.

YouTube Premium means not getting interrupted by ads, plus being able to keep watching/ listening to videos while doing other things on your device (even when it’s locked). Another bonus is being able to access YouTube Music Premium, where you can ‘like’ and ‘download’ songs for offline use.

YouTube FEATURES:

• Browse personal recommendations on Home screen
• Subscribe to channels you like
• See latest content from channels you like
• Search for any topic
• Create & upload your own videos
• PREMIUM: Offline music, no ads, keep using app while doing other things on your device

Explore the night sky with the FREE Star Walk app. Listen to the relaxing music as you move your device around in all directions to see which stars and constellations you’re looking at.

This app is great for budding young astronomers and curious adults alike.

Star Walk FEATURES:

• Stars & constellations
• Solar system bodies
• Deep space objects
• Sun & moon
• Asteroids & comets
• Meteor showers, equinoxes, conjunctions, full/ new moon etc.

12 thoughts on “📲 27 BEST Travel Apps Australia (Camps, Maps, Safety…)”

Wikicamps has stopped working as it used to, it appears to have had an update and now it is extremely out of date and won’t sinc between my computer and tablet even though they are signed in on the same account. Is anyone else having these issues. I am thinking of downloading a different planner= maybe Campermate, any feedback would be appreciated. Regards Dennis

Hi Dennis, I was also having trouble with the new WikiCamps update. It wouldn’t load past 16%, which I know others were struggling with as well. I uninstalled the app on my phone and reinstalled it. Thankfully that solved the issue. I’m thinking after so many people having problems with the latest update that WikiCamps must be aware of the bugs and will hopefully get them sorted quickly.

These are amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing, they will be super helpful when we do our road trip through Australia. The public bathroom finder will be crucial with Logan’s tiny bladder lol and the WikiCamps is my fav! That makes it so easy to find campgrounds and pick the one that is right for us.

For sure! The bathroom finder seems to be a popular one and WikiCamps is by far one of the most used apps for travelling Australia.

The number of apps just for camping and road trips was interesting to see. The National Toilet Map would be one for someone like me with a baby bladder. The safety apps are a great idea. Having more than one map app saved us on our last road trip.

There are definitely many useful road tripping apps around these days. Thank goodness for modern technology.

There has been a paradigm shift in the way we all travel, thanks to Apps that help out in diverse areas. This is a really comprehensive list of Apps that will be useful when travelling in Australia. We too rely heavily on apps, that include Google Maps, and even an app that helps us find vegetarian restaurants in whichever country we are in.

Couldn’t agree more. A specific eatery/ restaurant app for worldwide travels is a great idea – it never ceases to amaze me, the things that people come up with.

Wow, so many camper related apps- who knew! I can see why when travelling with an RV you’d have to have some like the ones listed – Air Camp, Gas Finder, Public Toilets, Weather Zone and Post. It makes me curious to know what ones we have available in Canada.

They definitely make life easy in this modern age. I’m sure Canada would have some useful ones too – maybe even WikiCamps.

Love all the practical advice in this post! I think my favorite is the way to get mail. We’re constantly receiving packages/post for our business so Australia Post would be so important! Also think the public toilets is pretty awesome and I wish the US had something like that! If you’re hiking or camping there is no great way to find one!!

Yes the Australia Post App is amazing when you’re on the road. It really streamlines post and parcels. I’m surprised the US doesn’t have a similar toilet app – maybe a good inventive idea!

AFL confirms last-minute change for grand final

Major ride-share provider didi  fined more than $97,000 for safety offences in nsw.

Ride-share provider Didi has been fined a total of $97,000 for safety breaches in NSW .

NSW Transport Commissioner Anthony Wing prosecuted the company after an audit of its operations, the regulator said on Thursday.

Wing handed DiDi penalty notices totalling more than $82,000 for “incidences of failing to report notifiable occurrences” which Magistrate Megan Greenwood convicted DiDi of at Downing Centre Local Court on July 8.

A notifiable occurrence could be a crash, an incident that led to an injury requiring medical treatment, or a report being made to the police, for example. DiDi failed to report notifiable occurrences on 15 occasions.

The safety audit also uncovered two more safety offences, for failing to identify one of its drivers as an ineligible driver and continuing to give the driver bookings.

The driver had been refused permission to drive a ride-share or taxi vehicle by the previous regulator and was not eligible to provide passenger services.

DiDi pled guilty to the offences.

Magistrate Greenwood convicted DiDi and imposed additional fines totalling $15,400.

“My team routinely audits ride-share, taxi and other point-to-point transport service providers to ensure the point-to-point transport law is complied with – and as seen in the case of DiDi, there are penalties for non-compliance,” Wing said.

All service providers must ensure their drivers clear a series of background checks before they can provide passenger services and that all vehicles are appropriately registered and safe to be driven on the road, Wing said.

He added that DiDi responded cooperatively to his directions following the audit, and has committed to improving its safety systems and processes, including mandated quality assurance checks and improved staff training.

I have no trust in Sydney buses as they are not reliable, never on time and often late or never stop even when you signaled the driver. I missed three buses in a row because the driver decided not to stop and we ( waiting customer) have no idea what to do! There’s no communication, customers have to wait in the hope that a bus would show up and pick us up. That is not good customer service! Thats called mayhem and Sydney buses need to come up with a better customer communications system as we are living in the 21st century and not in the dark ages! Management needs to resolve this inefficiency that has been on going in this city. It’s a shame to think Sydney is a wold class city and yet our bus system is so behind. Why can’t we improve a system that most citizens are relying on a daily basis? What’s stopping us?! Also, please stop preventing our reviews by asking us to come up with nick names. I have entered my real name and your system says it has been taken. It’s pathetic!

Developer Response ,

This has nothing to do with TripView. You seem to be reviewing Sydney’s public transport system. TripView is an independent app developer. We don’t run the buses!

Great app and free - you get what you pay for!

Been using this app since I moved to Sydney 2019 and it is a lifesaver in coordinating the trains needed to get me around with live updates. When I moved a friend recommended this app and suggested the paid version so you can save the trips but I was happy enough trying the free version and selecting my stops each time, but after using for 2 years am going to switch to paid version to support developers. People complaining they can’t save their trips when this is clearly noted as a paid feature need to learn that you get what you pay for.

Thanks Megan! Glad to hear that you’ve found the app useful.

trip view updated

i am enjoying my experience using trip view as i dowloaded it quite recently and it is of course very useful. but as the trips do not save it causes quite a problem as i am rushing to get the bus and it doesn’t save how on earth am i supposed get around if i don’t know what my app is telling me because it goes blank before i get a chance to look at it! this is quite scary for me as i fear i will not get the right bus or get off at the right stop!! i am not suggesting that you make it completely free but at least for US free users, let us save at least one or two vital trips! this would 100% make me review tripview with 5 stars and would recommend to all of my friends who also take the bus often!! thank you for your time please consider this carefully as i feel very strongly about this and took a lot of time to write this yours sincerely a devoted tripview user

If you would like to save trips, we would recommend purchasing the full version of the app. There is a link to the full version in the about page.
