If your thinking of visiting this great land of mine check this out.

Just north of Newcastle, Port Stephens is famed for its calm waters rolling into Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay within the natural harbor, and surf beaches on its other coast –- and its schools of dolphins.

The dolphin-watch boat, the Tamboi Queen, is equipped with a ramp for wheelchair access.

Stay: At O’Carrollyn’s Eco Resort, where one in five guests wheel themselves around. Even the pool has a wheelchair hoist.

This area of N.S.W is truly amazing

The indigenous Anangu people have long campaigned against tourists climbing the sacred monolith Uluru.

Uluru, otherwise know as Ayers Rock is not far from my town, only 500 kms

So if your on your way over here click here

I don't know much about Australia, well except for that Dundee fella. It's on my list to check out, right between Ohio and the petting zoo.

Climbing Ayers Rock was probably the first thing I wanted to do on my Bucket List since a Nun or Missionary came to show us pictures in Elementary School. I don't think tourists are allowed to climb it anymore. Even so, I a unable to anymore so I guess it won't get done. :-(
Will have to think of something else to do.

It is not a sacred site as such, but certain areas around it are.

I live here in Australia, in Queensland, and yes it's a nice place. However, there are still a lot of places, including shops and businesses and buses and train stations and tourist destinations that are not wheelchair accessible. It is quite annoying, and as for hotels that properly cater to the disabled - they are few and far between. Most that do have correct access are very expensive. But other than that, there are some lovely places here, and it is improving slowly.
