ADINA DARWIN WATERFRONT
Adina waterfront apartments are located in the midst of the modern, and fun-filled Darwin waterfront. As it is part of an internationally renowned chain of hotels and apartments, I came with the expectation of receiving international-standard service. And I wasn’t disappointed! If you fly to Darwin, your best bet is to catch a taxi straight from the airport. Many taxi services operating in Darwin provide wheelchair accessible options, which is a big plus. Beware though, if y

SIMMER HUANG

A conveniently located Chinese Hotpot restaurant, Simmer Huang is a great little place for all of you lovers of spicy food! The accessibility of this venue is also of a very high standard. Considering its prime location, getting there should be a breeze. If going during peak shopping hours, your best bet is to catch a train to Chatswood station and continue down Victoria Ave. Driving t

EDINBURGH
Edinburgh is one of a kind – this unique city, while being Scotland's capital and home to the Queen's official residence, is steeped in hearty yet quaint 'old-agey' charm. Roaming the city, against the backdrop of rolling hills and looming castles, is a true delight. Here a few top activities that we recommend: The Palace of Holyroodhouse. Positioned at one end of the Royal Mile, this working palace offers tours all year round – excluding the one week a year when the Queen is

BARCELONA BABY
Barcelona, the city of fiestas and siestas, is proud of its reputation for inclusiveness, diversity and accessibility. With this in mind, you will not be surprised to find flat streets, ramps and accessible activities abound. Activities: La Sagrada Familia is currently undergoing a renovation that will make it safer and more accessible. In the meantime, Gaudi's spectacular architecture can be experienced at La Pedrera (otherwise known as Casa Milà), which is fitted with ramps

EXPERIENCE AUTHENTIC DARWIN: THE "CAV" CAVENAGH
In the centre of the old part of Darwin city sits a charming hotel: the Cavenagh (locally known as ‘The Cav). It has the traditional ‘Aussie Hotel’ set up, pub at the front, accommodation at the back, and to add a little tropical touch, they put this massive swimming pool right down the middle!

GET OUT AND HAVE FUN - LP's Quality Meats
‘Vegetarian – Ancient tribal slang for the village idiot who can’t hunt, fish or ride’ If you subscribe to this, then LP’s Quality Meats is the spot for you. Tucked away in dark laneways in the middle of nowhere, Chippendale, are some of the hottest trendy restaurants of the moment. LP’s Quality Meats is one of those for the caveman in you. There are plenty of accessible public transport options to get you to Broadway, or at least Central station. From there, it’s a 5-10minut

GET OUT AND HAVE FUN - BRAZA
This place is not for the faint hearted. All you can eat Brazilian BBQ at Braza Darling Harbour! It's situated on the new strip south of the old Cockle Bay precinct, general access is fantastic, all the restaurants there as far as we know are ramped up. So take an accessible bus or a train to Townhall then make your way towards the water. Word of warning: there's a lift on every corner, but they are not always properly maintained. From our experience, there's a good 30% chanc

GET OUT AND HAVE FUN - Mary's Newtown
This place is awesome on so many levels. If you love burgers and live in Sydney, this place is a must - Mary's Burgers. Get yourself to Newtown, by bus or train, don't drive. It is hellish trying to drive up or down King St, and good luck with parking. Even if you hit the parking jackpot and find that 1 in a million spot, the roads are busy and narrow, too many people, too many cars, transferring in and out of a wheelchair is just that bit too hard. Now your google map took y

GET OUT AND HAVE FUN - Athenian
Love your big fat Greek family feast? Can't be bothered cooking? You need to try The Athenian. Hearty Greek food in the city, convenient, friendly service and very yummy! Situated on Barrack St right across George Street from Martin Place, the Athenian is super easy to get to. But try using public transport, because parking is terribly expensive around here. There are plenty of accessible busses around with Wynyard station really close as well. If you come through Wynyard, ma

GET OUT AND HAVE FUN - El Loco Surry Hills
Mexican food, like its culture, is fun, vibrant, and relaxed. Situated in the middle of Surry Hills, El Loco is all of the above and more. Get yourself to Central Station on one of Sydney's brilliant wheelchair accessible public transports then you are pretty much a short walk away from Surry Hills. If you are feeling lazy, there are a few buses that will drop you right around the corner from El Loco. Be sure to check out 131500 to plan your trip. El Loco is part of the Excel
