Well done to the organisers of Vivid Sydney for being so inclusive. There’s lots of information on the Accessibility page of the website outlining how to enjoy the festival. They have a Visual Story, an Accessibility Light Walk Map, information about Accessibility Viewing areas and Audio Services and you can get a ‘Gig Buddy’, which is a volunteer to go along and help you. It sounds so good, I wish I was in Sydney to go along. Maybe next year!

Last Week I went to the Amazing Soul Shack - FNQ Occupational Therapy! I stayed there for 4 nights and made lots of new Friends and saw some old friends. We did lots of fun things Like Swimming in the Creek, going to Green island and singing and dancing and going on the Party Bus and to see a Musical. I really loved going there because I met some lovely new friends who were very nice to me and it was some much fun. Sylvia and the other people who work at the Soul Shack were very friendly and helpful to me. I really liked the great food we had for dinner, especially the spaghetti. They also had cute Animals. There was a donkey, Harley the dog was so lovely and there were some very lovely gots and a lovely Pony and some cute chickens. We did Tie dying and made some awesome T-Shirts and And I got a very beautiful Trophy and a Lovely Certificate to bring home. I really would love to go back there again.

These are great reasons to travel. Do you have any other suggestions to add to this list? I think another good reason is that Travelling helps us to be more independent.
