School holidays are upon us so I thought I'd put together a list of outings we have enjoyed which are accessible. I find it frustrating when I read the newspaper and online lists with the headline “school holiday activities” and don’t see anything …

VIVID FESTIVAL SYDNEY
We packed the kids into the car on Monday night and headed into the city to see the Vivid Festival. We have visited every year since the festival started and in my opinion it is a must-see event in Sydney. Sydney Harbour dazzles with light …
Taronga zoo
The animals here have some of the best views of the harbour and the city of Sydney. The zoo is a great day out whether you are from overseas or a local. It is hilly with a manual wheelchair and leaves me quite breathless on the return to the top …
SYDNEY TOWER AND SKYWALK

Parks can be hard when you have a child with a disability. When our son was younger we would take him on swings on our lap, do slides and the other equipment as best we could. As he got older it became one of my least favourite places to go. AJ …
Nan Tien Temple, Berkeley NSW
Last visited April 2013 Nan Tien Temple is the largest temple in the Southern Hemisphere and is located just 10 minutes south of Wollongong. We like to expose the kids to different cultures and beliefs and a trip to Asia isn’t on the near horizon …
