Travelling with a wheelchair
The Gold Coast delivers family fun for us every visit. On our most recent trip, we found the Gold Coast to be more accessible than ever. Famous for its long stretches of beach, we were thrilled to find beach wheelchairs are available free to loan at many locations. Taking a spontaneous walk along the beach as a family was wonderfully liberating but we should add
For our movie-loving family a trip to Movie World is a must when visiting the Gold Coast. When the kids were younger the rides were the focus, but as they’ve grown up we visit more for the character interactions and parade. In fact, BJ celebrated his 18th birthday at Movie World and Batman ensured it was a special experience by including him in the parade.
Buggy tours are a favourite family activity for us. It’s a popular activity with the whole family but particularly BJ. That’s why on our recent holiday we decided to try Gold Coast Island Buggy Tours which took us to South Stradbroke Island for a blissful day of fun and relaxation. Our day started with a cruise from Mariners Cove to our destination of Couran Cove
We’ve made lovely family memories at Sea World on the Gold Coast over multiple visits. AJ even celebrated her second birthday there. Over the years the attraction has evolved but maintained the elements that encourage us to visit again and again. On our recent trip to the Gold Coast we thought we’d pop in and see what’s new. As the kids get older it’s hard
Winding our way through the Gold Coast Hinterland to O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat we had high expectations. Other families had told us the area is stunning and we knew an accessible walk awaited us. Road works made it a slow journey which allowed us to enjoy the views and slowed down Hubby who would have otherwise thought the sharp turns were a good practice run for
True transport lovers never grow out of their passion and BJ certainly proved his devotion recently when we took a Fire Engine tour on the Gold Coast. When I spotted the Fire4Hire tour while researching family-friendly Gold Coast activities I just knew we had to surprise BJ with a ride. There was no holding BJ back when Geoff pulled up in the now retired, but
I have to admit we hadn’t stayed in holiday parks prior to having this website but over the years we’ve had the opportunity to review several and we’ve found they have some fantastic accessible facilities. Many of my preconceived ideas were proved untrue. Recently It occurred to me that it would be great to put them all into one document to make it easier for
I’ve just spent 3 nights away at a blogging conference at the RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast. I was looking forward to uninterrupted sleep, meeting people who I have only known virtually and time out for me. I got all of this and so much more. Although I was away for a break I couldn’t help but ask to check out the
When I think Gold Coast, I usually think theme parks but last weekend I discovered there is another park worth mentioning. Treasure Island Holiday Park has activities, entertainment and great accessible accommodation to boot. We arrived at the park with high expectations because friends had talked it up so much. I wondered if it would live up to the hype. I can report we had
Travelling with a wheelchair has many challenges and one of those can be hiring a car. Car hire companies offer options of car types but when a traveller books, say a Kia Carnival, the booking confirmation will say Kia Carnival “or similar.” As an ex travel consultant I understand the logistics of the car hire game but as a customer with specific needs the “or
