Sam is back on the road and finishing the NSW coast. Seven stops audited north to south: a hinterland crystal garden, a solar-powered train, a brewery that reroutes its own tour, a Sunday river cruise, the Big Banana, and two accessible holiday parks.
The Accessible Frontiers mission rolls south again! Sam and Charlie have spent this leg based in and around nipaluna/Hobart, putting the city’s convict history, its most eccentric museum, its waterfront, and its iconic mountain through the full accessibility audit. Some sites were built centuries before ramps were ever considered, others are brand new and purpose-built for inclusion — here’s how they all stack up.
I had the absolute pleasure of heading out to Mount Samson as a part of the Moreton Bay Events & Tourism Famil. For anyone who follows our journey, you know we love a good country escape—especially one that works hard to think about accessibility.
In Part 2 of our Tasmanian audit, Sam went behind the scenes at some of the East coast’s most iconic locations. We found heart-warming innovation at a luxury glamping resort, a clever way to see Wineglass Bay without the 1,000-stair climb, and some “mission-critical” data on island boat access.
Tasmania is famous for its rugged, wild beauty, which often presents a challenge for accessibility. However, our Northern audit has revealed that from the depths of historic mines to the serene waters of glacial lakes, the North is leading the way in inclusive innovation and dignified design.
At AccessibleOz, we recently had the honor of coordinating a truly life-changing adventure for Reese and his family. Travelling from the US to Brisbane, Queensland, Reese’s journey proves that with the right support, the world is open to everyone.
