Equal Access Adventures

Love thrills and chills for a fantastic price and excellent value?! Aussie World is really fun, and has a lot to offer for an adventurous day out with your support person. We were enticed by the Inclusion Day hosted by T he Ability Collective . I saw their post on Facebook about it, and I wanted to go and support others with disabilities. They had little stalls all set up for disabled persons selling their hand crafted goodies to buy, which was really cool. You could enter their competition for a lucky door prize, buy raffle tickets and there was even an open mic you could sign up for! Lots of ways to support. After perusing the market we headed to play some games. I thought they were reasonably priced at 3 for $20, so I decided to try them. Plus some of those cool prizes are so tempting. There are many rides there which had next to no line ups when we went, which would be awesome if you're a thrill seeker! I'm terrified of heights so my support worker and I only went on the ...

Nestled in the heart of Eatons Hill, Kumbartcho Sanctuary offers a peaceful escape into nature with winding trails, vibrant wildlife, and tranquil scenery. The sanctuary features a butterfly garden and a fairy garden, which are sure to delight little kids. You can even send the fairies some mail - a charming touch! Moving on from the enchanting fairy garden, Frog Hollow is another delightful spot to explore. If you love frogs, they have little ponds with different species of frogs. I had to laugh that the area is fenced. The fenced Frog Hollow is an interesting feature, though I couldn't help but wonder if the frogs might venture out to find new homes. The Sanctuary also has a nursery, which sells a lot of native plants for great prices. Perfect for if you are a green thumb, you can get some retail therapy in. We tried many times to spot a koala, but had no luck. There's definitely some furry friends somewhere, going by the marks we found on this tree though! There was lov...

The Hologram Zoo is a walk through experience full of epic animal holograms that feel like the animals are right there with you! You go through tunnels following the marker and watch huge creatures in their natural habitat, come alive right before your eyes. The experience feels surreal and is truly a wonder to behold. We also added the Dinosaur Experience, because why not while we were there. It was amazing to see huge animals walk overhead, beside you or fly past! There was excellent audio which really made you feel a part of the ancient world of dinosaurs. At the end of your travel through the tunnels, you can also take a photo with the dinosaurs! They can then be easily downloaded directly to your phone digitally. I removed us from this photo, but we were screaming at the T-Rex. I reckon it looked more like I was yelling back at it though - haha! This place is such a fun venue to take you back in time and let your imagination run wild. You can't help but reach out, trying ...

The Strawberry View Coffee Shack is a gorgeous brunch spot with stunning views. Located in Bellmere, it's built right on a strawberry farm, and has a beautiful backdrop of the Glasshouse Mountains. The menu has a lot of mouth watering choices, involving, of course, fresh, juicy strawberries! I opted for the mini pancakes. My support worker chose a gorgeous strawberry kebab and the smashed avocado - yum! We thought the prices were a little more on the expensive side, but when we saw the servings we were pleasantly surprised how plentiful they were. The facilities were also fantastic, with accessible toilets, accessible parking, and flat ground, making it very wheelchair-friendly. I was very impressed, especially since it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere (though you really aren't). There was lots of spacious seating and there is even a little playground for the kids. The atmosphere was quiet and serene, making it very relaxing to sit and sip a coffee in peac...

🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! I was so excited to go to my very first pride festival. I'm in my 40s, but hey, better late than never, right?! This awesome festival is on annually at Pine Rivers Park in Strathpine. The festival is filled with nothing but good vibes and colourful fun! There were fantastic markets to explore and many community services offering cool, free activities. We made some pins, a bracelet, got stickers and I even brought home beads to make another bracelet. I also won a Lychee Mojito diffuser on a wheel spin at one of the stalls! I loved the activity where you take a message from a ball, like the one on the blue note. You then get to write something and put it in a ball for someone else to read. How beautiful and wholesome. There were even FREE iron-on transfers of the PrideFest logo or other cute designs that you could add to merchandise you brought with you! I got two done on my Splatter room shirt that was covered in coloured paint. How cool! I freaking love it!...
