Recently I was watching The Project (Australian current affairs TV show) and I saw a promotion for a story coming up that stopped me in my tracks. I knew it would be of interest, not only to myself, but to our HWWT readers. After seeing the segment …

VICTORIA PARK NATURE RESERVE – ACCESSIBLE BRYON BAY AND SURROUNDS
Finding ways to be immersed in nature is often difficult as a wheelchair user, so it's always exciting to discover an interesting wheelchair accessible walk when we are travelling. When we read about Victoria Park Nature Reserve near Alstonville in …
KANGAROO VALLEY ACCESSIBILITY – WOMBATS, SHOPPING & PICNICS
I've been visiting Kangaroo Valley since I was a child. This quiet town is about two hours south of Sydney (give or take) and is the perfect spot for a day trip or weekend getaway. On our most recent stay we found the countryside in Kangaroo Valley …
SOUTH CRONULLA BEACH – POWER BEACH WHEELCHAIR – ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY BEACH
We popped on down to South Cronulla Beach on the weekend to check out the beach matting. We didn't realise it needs to be booked in advance therefore it wasn't out, but we did get to check out the rest of the facilities. BJ also had the opportunity …

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 …
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 …
