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 …
NSW RAIL MUSEUM THIRLMERE – ACCESSIBLE RAILWAY FUN
We never miss an opportunity to take our transport-loving guy somewhere that will indulge his passion. It's been a long time between visits to the NSW Rail Museum in Thirlmere and yet again it didn't disappoint. With over 100 trains, locomotives and …
DAWSON-DAMER WATER PARK ORAN PARK – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE SYDNEY
It's a sign that we are moving towards a more inclusive society when a new water park opens and not only does the council include a choice of water wheelchairs and inclusive playground elements, but also a Changing Places bathroom facility. We …
BLUE MOUNTAINS – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE GUIDE
On Sydney’s door step, the mystique of the Blue Mountains is a magnet for day-trippers and weekenders alike. With plenty of accessible activities and accommodation we think the Blue Mountains should be a must-visit for everyone. I've lost count of …
OKARITO WETLAND WALK – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE NEW ZEALAND
Some of the best travel finds come when things don't go to plan. When weather conditions prevented us from doing a helicopter trip to Franz Josef at the planned time, we were left with an afternoon for exploring. We decided to check out the small …
CEREBRAL PALSY ALLIANCE GYM – ACCESSIBLE GYM PROGRAM
Last year BJ started at the Cerebral Palsy Alliance gym. I honestly didn't think it would be a success but I'm always keen to give BJ the opportunity to try new things. I figured if it was a success, fantastic. If not, it would be no great loss. At …
CAR FRIDGE FOR TRAVEL – DISABILITY EQUIPMENT SOLUTIONS
We're always on the look out for equipment or gadgets which will make our travels easier. Before Christmas Hubby suggested we buy a car fridge. At first I was dubious as I'd always associated them with camping, but it turns out it's a super useful …
DRY ICE EXPERIMENTS – WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE FUN
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 …
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 …
