Braeden is out every day with his support workers and the wet summer has meant we've had to come up with lots of indoor activities. I'm not going to lie, it's been so hard to keep variety in his days. It's not easy dealing with getting Braeden in and …
School Holiday Accessible Activities
Jurassic World by Brickman at The Australian Museum – Accessible Sydney
I may not have the patience to piece together a large Lego set but that only increases my admiration for those who do. So last week when Braeden and I found ourselves with an unexpected free day, we headed to The Australian Museum to check out …
NATIONAL GALLERY OF VICTORIA (NGV) – GABRIELLE CHANEL – ACCESSIBLE MELBOURNE
You don't need to be a fashion tragic to enjoy the National Gallery of Victoria's exhibition, Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto. It's a fascinating insight into the woman and designer. After visiting the exhibition while I was in Melbourne I came …
THE LUME Melbourne – Van Gogh – Accessible Melbourne

NEIGHBOURHOOD EARTH – ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY
