Last week the kids and I headed to the Van Gogh Alive exhibition at the Royal Hall of Industries at Moore Park. We were wowed by this multi-media explosion of colour, art and music. It was BJ's second visit and we're thrilled to see the exhibition …
School Holiday Accessible Activities
UNDARA EXPERIENCE AND LAVA TUBES – ACCESSIBILITY
It is generally what you expect the least that sticks with you the most about a holiday. And last year when I was visiting Cairns for a conference, I was surprised to find my favourite experience was inland, far from the Great Barrier Reef and the …
BATHURST RAIL MUSEUM – ACCESSIBLE BATHURST
Bathurst certainly delivers joy for any transport lovers with the National Motoring Museum and the Bathurst Rail Museum within a short drive of each other. We visited both museums in one day and enjoyed learning more about how the railway line to …
WHERE TO STAY & PLAY IF YOU NEED A POOL HOIST AROUND AUSTRALIA
Are you as excited as we are to wave winter goodbye and soak up some summer sun? Splashing in a pool is an activity many of us enjoy when it warms up, whether for leisure or exercise. BJ can manage to walk down stairs to get into a pool, or he can …
SAND DUNE ADVENTURES PORT STEPHENS – ACCESSIBLE QUAD BIKING
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 - …

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. …
HAPPY PLACE BROADWAY – ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY
Many of us need a lift in spirits at the moment. It's hard to escape the grim reality of what's going on in parts of Australia and around the world. While a visit to the Happy Place will only offer a short reprieve, BJ certainly enjoyed the novelty …
BAGO MAZE & WINERY – ACCESSIBLE PORT MACQUARIE
Port Macquarie may be well known for its stunning coastline but there's more to this town than beaches - though we are rather fond of those too. The Bago Maze and Winery is about a 30 minute drive from Port Macquarie and is a favourite spot with …
