If the walls of the Hydro Majestic could talk, they’d have many a tale to tell. How I’d love to be transported back in time to 1904 to be a hotel guest when the hotel was owned by Mark Foy and operating as a health retreat. Although the Hydro …

Wentworth Falls Lake Park and inclusive playground – accessible Blue Mountains
It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed an accessible and inclusive playground and that’s simply because I’ve not been impressed by many. When I look for a good accessible and inclusive playground to share with our readers, I’m looking for one that …
Nelsons Beach, Jervis Bay – NSW South Coast – accessible beach
While staying on the NSW south coast I spotted an Instagram post showing a little girl walking down a path to the beach. As soon as I saw that picture of Nelsons Beach I was determined to take a look in person. We've previously enjoyed time at …
NEIGHBOURHOOD EARTH – ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY

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 …
HOLBROOK SUBMARINE MUSEUM – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE
It feels counterintuitive to head to a rural town to see a submarine, but that's exactly what we did while staying in Wagga Wagga in New South Wales. We took an afternoon drive to the town of Holbrook to visit the Holbrook Submarine …
