School Holiday Accessible Activities
BBQ BOAT HIRE PORT MACQUARIE – ACCESSIBLE BOATING FUN
Have you ever been on a BBQ boat? When BJ was little we joined friends on a BBQ boat while staying in Port Macquarie. I remember it as a relaxing and fun day out. Our most recent visit to the area was during winter and we were looking for activities …
TORONTO SWIM CENTRE – ACCESSIBLE LAKE MACQUARIE
When it was recommended we take a look at the Toronto Swim Centre while we were visiting Lake Macquarie last weekend, I went along with an open mind. But, I wasn't sure I'd see anything I hadn't already seen in our travels, but I was wrong. The …
SYDNEY ZOO – WESTERN SYDNEY – ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY
Sydney Zoo has been open for six months, so we thought it was about time we popped in to check out the zoo and its accessibility. We'd heard good things from our Have Wheelchair Will Travel and Accessible Sydney Facebook communities but we wanted to …
A NIGHT AT FIELD OF LIGHT – SOUNDS OF SILENCE DINNER ULURU – ACCESSIBLE CENTRAL AUSTRALIA

There are many ways to see Uluru, but perhaps the most spectacular is from the air. Helicopter flights are expensive but after three trips to Central Australia, we'd seen Uluru from every possible angle from the ground. It was time for a new …
MUSEUM OF FIRE PENRITH – ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY
Over the years we've visited the Museum of Fire many times. When BJ was younger he loved the rides in the fire truck but as he grew it became too difficult for me to get him up into the cabin of the fire engines. The Museum of Fire is an attraction …
TAUPO QUAD ADVENTURES – FAMILY FUN – ACCESSIBLE NEW ZEALAND
It's well known that we have two motor-loving guys in our household. Something that's been a surprising discovery in our travels, is how much AJ loves quad biking. She's the quietest family member and more likely to be cuddling a cute animal than …
MAORI ROCK CARVINGS LAKE TAUPO – SAILING WITH BARBARY
Sometimes the desire to do a certain travel experience, despite it not being the most logical choice, is too great to ignore. Sailing on beautiful Lake Taupo to the Maori Rock Carvings, on the electric eco-yacht Barbary, was one such adventure. We …
