THE ISOLATION DIARIES – 3 WEEKS OF ENTERTAINMENT, SCHOOLING & WORKING FROM HOME
It’s now three weeks since our family made the decision to remove BJ from his day program and to self-isolate. Hubby has been working from home and AJ’s school has moved to classes online. Our decision to go into self-isolation was due to the lack of …
CURRY RESERVE WATER PLAY PARK – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY
Sydney is looking at a long hot summer ahead, so it's fantastic to see Curry Reserve Water Play Park becoming even more wheelchair accessible. We were impressed when we visited earlier this year but we've heard that as of yesterday, additional …
SUMMERLAND HOUSE FARM – EMPLOYING PEOPLE WITH A DISABILITY

SCENIC WORLD, BLUE MOUNTAINS
Scenic World in the Blue Mountains is somewhere I have visited many times since I was a small child. It has been a place to go for family outings, somewhere to take visiting family or friends from overseas and now a place to share with my kids. The …

On the weekend we headed north of Sydney to visit Hubby’s mother for Mother’s Day. We decided to take the opportunity to pop in and check out Treetops Adventure Zipcoaster which was in the area. We had seen the Zipcoaster on television and couldn’t …
