School Holiday Accessible Activities
NORTHPOINT APARTMENTS – ACCESSIBLE PORT MACQUARIE
We're regular visitors to the Port Macquarie region and we've stayed in a variety of apartments and houses in the area over the last 20 odd years. I've always been keen to stay in Northpoint Apartments because of its ideal location and incredible …
ORACLE PARK HOME OF SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS – ACCESSIBLE SAN FRANCISCO
Even I think it's odd that this non-athletic gal would be the least bit interested in doing a behind-the-scenes tour of a baseball stadium. But when I travel, I believe in immersing myself in the culture and the ways of the country I'm visiting, and …
KOALA HOSPITAL – PORT MACQUARIE

WAI-O-TAPU THERMAL WONDERLAND – ACCESSIBLE NEW ZEALAND

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 …
SHINE SHED – ALL ABILITIES PLAY CENTRE SYDNEY
Yesterday we visited The Shine Shed, a unique all abilities indoor play centre. People have been tagging me in posts about this play centre since it opened in October last year. I was keen to get there but it's about an hour from where we live so it …
