Ways Australians Are Blending Outdoors Tech and Smart Leisure

If you have ever been to Australia, you will know that they embrace and love the outdoors.

Everything from hikes in the deserts to sitting on the beach and, of course, surfing) is linked to Australia and, as tech emerges and the digital world becomes more prevalent, it is helping to change the ways Australians and tourists take in the beauty of this country.

So, what are some of the top ways Australia is merging the great outdoors with smart tech?

Smart Camping and Connected Caravanning

If you have ever been to Australia, chances are that you have been camping (or glamping) as well as caravanning. These are traditions in Australia, but thanks to the latest tech, they are evolving. Everything from better Wi-Fi spots to help visitors access Jackpot City Casino if they want to, Bluetooth battery systems are now the standard for most camping and caravan sites. Indeed, it has been shown by recent manufacturing data from Australia that the majority of caravan parks are now smart homes on wheels, helping visitors to have more convenience even in remote areas.

Tech-Supported Surfing

Yes, you read that right! Of course, tech can never deflect from the real experience, but still!

Australia is a global platform for surfing, and now, technology allows beach safety and helps surfers to surf safely. You can access surf trackers, wave prediction apps, and even marine navigation tools to help you stay safe in the water, as the last thing you will want is to be in the water with aquatic life that may be less than pleased with you surfing. Also, coastguards are able to use weather prediction systems to ensure that any storms are spotted promptly and that surfers are out of the water before it becomes hazardous.

AR & Digital Mapping

Australia is known for its natural parks and hiking trails, and, with the use of augmented reality and digital mapping (which can be downloaded to phones), this creates a more interesting experience for visitors. AR helps hikers to learn about natural aspects of their hike, such as flora, flowers, and trees, as well as helping them to see geological features and identify them. Many councils in Australia have introduced a digital discovery trail where visitors and kids can access education content through scanning a QR code, helping them to learn about a site or a feature. This allows for the authenticity of the outdoors to be seen while enhancing it.

Outdoor Events with Tech Integration

The digital age has done wonders for people who are unable to travel to events due to issues with mobility, their health, or financial constraints. Music festivals, markets, and even sports events across Australia are streamed live to help those who can’t attend in person to get the full experience.

Of course, for those who can attend the events, there are event-based apps to ease navigation, as well as event-based apps and even crowd flow analytics for organisers, to help keep everyone safe and happy. This means there is no fear of getting too overheated or getting stuck in an overcrowded area when listening to live music.
