Willunga Mobile Heritage brings information about the town’s history into the digital age, for people to use at home, but also on location across the town’s historical and heritage sites. We want to encourage people of all ages- residents, students and tourists- to enjoy the stories behind these sites using contemporary digital and mobile technology. The project is being supported with a grant from the Commonwealth Government. The Willunga Heritage mobile app will be launched in May. Right now, we are looking for your help with any information about the town's history and heritage that we might include, particularly photos, videos or old film that show the town, its people, streets and buildings as they were in the past. Please contact us at willunganowandthen@gmail.com if you can help!
