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 …
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 …

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 …
JERVIS BAY WILD – ACCESSIBLE DOLPHIN WATCHING CRUISE JERVIS BAY
Boat tours are often problematic for wheelchair users. Gangways are usually narrow and once on the boat the prime viewing areas are often inaccessible. On our recent trip to Jervis Bay we were told that Jervis Bay Wild offers an accessible dolphin …
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 …
