When Braeden was approaching the end of high school, I wasted quite a bit of energy on despairing about what life would look like for him, and if I’m honest, what it would bring for me. I wanted him to be engaged and live a full life but I wasn't …
Beaches
SOUTH CRONULLA BEACH – POWER BEACH WHEELCHAIR – ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY BEACH
We popped on down to South Cronulla Beach on the weekend to check out the beach matting. We didn't realise it needs to be booked in advance therefore it wasn't out, but we did get to check out the rest of the facilities. BJ also had the opportunity …
TRANSPORTING A BEACH WHEELCHAIR – ACCESSIBLE EQUIPMENT SOLUTIONS
A beach wheelchair has been a wonderful addition to our lives. Not only can BJ access the beach, but as a family we love the freedom it offers us. We're no longer tied to the availability of a loan chair being available at a specific beach and we can …
BONDI BEACH – BEACH WHEELCHAIR, MATTING & ACCESSIBILITY
Bondi Beach is arguably one of the busiest and most popular beaches in Australia. In fact, last year it played host to 4 million visitors. When 1 in 20 people have an access need, this means there’s a significant number of those visitors who require …

PORT MACQUARIE’S ACCESSIBLE BEACHES
We're spoilt in Australia with so many beautiful beaches and coastal towns to explore. Unfortunately, not all beaches are accessible to wheelchair users and if you've ever tried to pull a manual wheelchair through soft sand, you'll know it's a …
SOUTH WEST ROCKS – ACCESSIBLE BEACH WHEELCHAIR
I'm not a fan of too many detours when we are road tripping between destinations. The back of our car is usually packed to the max and it's difficult to get BJ's wheelchair out. However, one of our lovely readers has been keeping me informed of the …
ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY BEACHES & ACTIVITIES – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY
We’re a nation known for our outdoorsy nature, so with summer just around the corner it would be remiss of me not to put together a list of Sydney's accessible beaches and activities to enjoy. We’d love to continue to build upon this but in the …
ACCESSIBLE BEACHES MELBOURNE
On our recent trip to Melbourne we checked out three beaches which have outstanding accessible facilities. I've already written about Altona Beach (you can catch up here) but I thought I'd pop all three options into one post so if you're a local, or …
