ACCESSIBILITY REVIEWS
Sharing and reviewing my accessible travels through a disability lens
YAMBA GETAWAY - YAEGL COUNTRY - YAMBA, NSW~Accessibility Review
Nestled in the heart of Yamba, this one-bedroom renovated garage radiates a quirky charm and a warm ambience, offering a unique retreat just a short 10-minute drive away from the bustling tourist shopping and dining hub, as well as the sun-kissed beaches that define the coastal town. Attached to the main house, this unit provides direct access to a shared backyard deck area adorned with a barbecue, creating a perfect setting for relaxed evenings and casual gatherings.
7 On Merindah – Quandamooka Country – Coochiemudlo Island, QLD ~Accessibility Review
My latest accessibility review is on the charming disability inclusive '7 on Merindah,' nestled with charm on Moreton Bay's residential island, Coochiemudlo (the indigenous name, Kutchi-mudlo, for place of Redstone). In Australia, fully accessible holiday homes are a rarity, making 7 On Merindah a unique find. Coochiemudlo Island is largely wheelchair accessible, and will suit many people with disability

Ingenia Holidays Broulee - Yuin country - NSW~Accessibility Review
We arrived to the tantalising sounds of waves on the Broulee Rocks beach behind the dense scrub that separates it from Ingenia Holiday Park. The somewhat tired yet accessible unit has been modified for those using wheelchairs and requiring mobility assistance. However, it wasn't a comfortable stay as there were too many adjustments and workarounds to be made for my situation.
Captains Cove Apartments – Gunaikurnai country – Paynesville, Vic ~Accessibility Review
Captain’s Cove Apartments was a great place to start our road trip, and we spent two nights and days surrounded by the gentle clink of ropes swaying against sail masts on the many boats and yachts docked around us. This inclusively designed two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is a joy to stay in.
Changing Places and Changing Lives
People are missing out on life experiences and it just isn't right.
Most of us tend to take for granted that whenever we attend an event or enjoy our great Aussie outdoors we will have a loo and a sink available . The requirement for personal elimination is barely a consideration - we’ll just duck in and out - no problems at all. But for as many as 25% of us there is much more involved in performing our most basic physical need…and with the same dignity and discretion afforded to the majority.
