I’ve made no secret of my love for the Blue Mountains region in Australia. We will often visit on a day trip as a family but sometimes it is nice to visit minus the kids. Although Lilianfels cater well to children, I rather like enjoying the hotel’s grandeur as a grown-up experience. Last year high tea in the lounge proved the perfect treat for my
ACCESSIBLE SCHOOL HOLIDAY OUTINGS SYDNEY
School holidays are upon us so I thought I’d put together a list of outings we have enjoyed which are accessible. I find it frustrating when I read the newspaper and online lists with the headline “school holiday activities” and don’t see anything listed which suits a family with a family member using a wheelchair. I hope my list may fill that gap. So, here’s
EATING IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS
Being regular visitors to the Blue Mountains area we have a few favourite cafes and restaurants which we return to regularly. These places have reasonably priced, tasty food and are wheelchair accessible. CONSERVATION HUT – WENTWORTH FALLS This little place is hidden away in Wentworth Falls but has beautiful views and delicious food. I particularly like breakfast here but I’ve been here for dinner in
Hyde Park Barracks and Cafe
Last visited 2011 Hyde Park Barracks Cafe is opposite Hyde Park and it is a great place for a meal or light snack. They have a varied menu and on a fine day in Sydney it is really pleasant sitting outside. Everything I’ve had to eat here (on many visits) has been delicious. The staff are very efficient and friendly. One particular staff member has

BLUE POLES Gallery, Cafe and B & B
last Visited January 2014 Blue Poles is on our ‘must do’ list every time we visit Port Macquarie. It is a very pretty drive out to Wauchope but the best part of the drive is from Wauchope to Byabarra. Blue Poles is our favourite café in the Port Macquarie area for lots of reasons. The owners and staff make us feel welcome even when we
THE FAT FISH at the Surf Club
Bonny Hills – Last visited January 2013 There is a fabulous restaurant called The Fat Fish at the Bonny Hills-Wauchope Surf Club. We tried it for the first time this visit. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We tried breakfast but a local told me he had done lunch and it was just as good. He was yet to try dinner. We
