Our Top Picks of Accessible Accommodations with an Accessible Beach Nearby

In this month's blog, we share 10 of our favourite accessible properties, each with nearby accessible beaches or lagoons.

My Time at the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix

Hey there, my name is Josh and I wanted to share my experience at the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix. As a big fan of cars and racing, I was excited to attend this event for the second year in a row.This time around, I was offered general admission tickets which I couldn’t turn down.
