It's creepy and it's kooky but it's also deliciously fun. Dry ice experiments had us laughing, blocking our ears and entertained over the weekend. If you're stuck at home avoiding crowds due to Covid, or looking for a fun stay-at-home activity for a …

PORT MACQUARIE – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE GUIDE
We've visited Port Macquarie more than any other destination in Australia. We usually visit once or twice a year and I've been a regular to the region since I was a child. We feel Port, as the locals call it, is our second home. That familiarity …
JUNEE ROUNDHOUSE RAILWAY MUSEUM – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE ACTIVITIES JUNEE
As a family that drives or flies to our destinations, we don't really think about the important role the railway played in linking the city with rural towns in Australia in the past. It's fantastic to see that rail history is being preserved at the …
JUNEE LICORICE & CHOCOLATE FACTORY – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE FAMILY FUN
Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory is probably the closest I'll get to a Willy Wonker style experience. If I could have snuck into the room where they were making the licorice I would have. Sadly I was left on the wrong side of the glass, looking …
GREENFIELD BEACH JERVIS BAY – ACCESSIBLE SOUTH COAST NSW
One of the great joys of BJ owning his own beach wheelchair is that we're able to explore any beaches we fancy. Despite this, we do prefer a beach with level access. We tried several beaches in Jervis Bay but our favourite was Greenfield Beach which …
LIVVI’S PLACE MOLLYMOOK – ACCESSIBLE & INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND SOUTH COAST NSW
One of the things that stings the most about BJ's younger years is the lack of accessible and inclusive playgrounds. It robbed him of the opportunity to be included in play with peers and therefore I'm always keen to review any accessible and …
STINGRAYS AT BENDALONG BOAT HARBOUR BEACH – ACCESSIBLE STINGRAY EXPERIENCE
Seeing stingrays in the wild is as good a reason as any to take a detour and that's exactly what we did recently. While researching accessible activities to do while staying at Jervis Bay on the South Coast of New South Wales we read about the …
CHERRY PICKING YOUNG – ACCESSIBLE FRUIT PICKING NSW
There are things I've always wanted to do. Some big and some small. Picking cherries is probably a strange one but as a family we've been apple, peach, strawberry, nectarine and blueberry picking. There's something satisfying in picking your own …
SWANSEA LAKESIDE HOLIDAY PARK – ACCESSIBLE LAKE MACQUARIE ACCOMMODATION
We recently had the opportunity to review Belmont Lakeside Holiday Park's accessible villa/duplex at Lake Macquarie and we were blown away by the accessible inclusions. We really didn't think anything could come close to it in regards to …
VAN GOGH ALIVE – ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY
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 …
