I'm not usually drawn to the idea of space travel but during the pandemic it has, at times, seemed a reasonable option. Children, adults and billionaires are intrinsically curious about what is beyond our planet. If you're one of those people, you'll …

SEA LIFE SYDNEY AQUARIUM – ACCESSIBLE DINING SYDNEY
Thanks to a certain Hollywood blockbuster we know what happens at night in a museum, but have you ever wondered what happens after dark in an aquarium? Last week we were lucky enough to be hosted by SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium for their private dining …
THE BLIND CHEF CAFE & DESSERT BAR – ACCESSIBLE DINING SYDNEY
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 …

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 …
