Guess the radio in Australia

Every signal in this game is a real station broadcasting from somewhere in Australia. You hear it — you don’t see which — and drop a pin on the map where you think the transmitter is. The closer you land, the higher you score. 5 stations, all from Australia, by ear.

How the Australia game works

Press Play Australia and a mystery station begins — drawn at random from 85 real, located Australia broadcasters. Nothing on the map is labelled; your only clues are what you can hear. When you have a hunch about the cityit’s coming from, tap the globe and lock in your guess. A radar line snaps to the true transmitter and you score by the real great-circle distance — pinning the right city is worth the most. Do it 5 times for a grade you can beat, then share a spoiler-free result or take on another country.

Every station streams straight from its own servers — LiveEarthViewer hosts no audio — and if one won’t play, the game quietly retunes you to another station from Australia. All scoring is real distance math on each station’s real coordinates; no made-up numbers.

The game only uses stations that carry real coordinates (so a pin can be scored) and enough listener votes to be a good bet to still be on air. Counts from the radio-browser community directory; snapshot baked 2026-07-06.

What Australia’s dial sounds like

Of the Australia stations in this game, the strongest leans are News & Talk (32), Rock & Metal (21), Pop & Hits (7) and Electronic & Dance (5)— the rest carry no genre we can honestly assign. Genre tags are the community’s own, folded into a few families at bake time; an unlabelled station is the normal, honest state, not a gap. It’s still a useful ear-clue: if a Australia signal is heavy on news & talk, that fits the pattern.

Stations you might hear

The most-voted Australiabroadcasters in the pool — the kind of signal you’re listening for. Knowing the big names won’t hand you the answer (you’re pinning where a station transmits, not naming it), but it tells you what Australia’s airwaves are made of.
