A few weeks ago we took a spontaneous getaway to Port Stephens. AJ's trial exams were over and BJ is still at home and not attending his day program and he's always up for an adventure. AJ had one request when we decided we'd take a few days away - …
School Holiday Accessible Activities
BELMONT LAKESIDE HOLIDAY PARK – ACCESSIBLE LAKE MACQUARIE ACCOMMODATION
As a family we review a lot of accommodation so it’s pretty hard to impress us these days. Occasionally, and I mean very occasionally, we see something that gives me tingles. That feeling comes from seeing a property which is outstanding, a place …
AFRICAN SAVANNAH – TARONGA ZOO SYDNEY
Air travel may have ground to a halt, but the new African Savannah precinct at Taronga Zoo Sydney allows visitors to go on safari, learning about giraffes, lions and meerkats, without even needing to whip out a passport. AFRICAN SAVANNAH …
PICK YOUR OWN ORANGES – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE FAMILY FUN
Our family loves the opportunity to pick fruit and in the past we've been mandarin, apple, strawberry and blueberry picking. BJ particularly likes fruit picking because he can usually help or do it himself. The less delicate the fruit the better. …

Overlooking the shores of Lake Macquarie, the Museum of Art and Culture (MAC), is the premier art destination for the region. We've visited Lake Macquarie many times and had overlooked this award-winning gallery in a stellar location until our latest …
BELMONT BATHS – ACCESSIBLE LAKE MACQUARIE
Many people take for granted their ability to take a swim anywhere and anytime. We've been fortunate in Australia to see the availability of beach wheelchairs on our beaches and pool chairs available at swimming pools. However, these facilities are …
ACCESSIBLE INDOOR ACTIVITIES IN & AROUND SYDNEY – ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY
The wet and cold weather forecast for the coming week has me thinking of accessible indoor activities in and around Sydney. While we are still cautious about indoor activities, restricted visitor numbers do assist with crowds, so I thought I'd put …
