Inclusion can be a real barrier to just attend and feel like you are part of the same crowd . Cosplay is a real thing where people step out of their reality into the world of fantasy to be their favourite hero or villain. How neat is it to see these wheelchair users have cool costume to wear at Comic-Con and have people asking them about their costume and be the centre of attention!! Well done for removing a social and community barrier and making it a little easier to participate and have fun like everyone else

One of those action packed weekends for our faithful crew to get out onto the city on a cold winter morning to enjoy the remarkable Arts Centre Melbourne behind the scenes tour. So much to learn, so much to touch, perfect for all disabilities including wheelchairs and low vision plus everything in between.

Put it on your to do list or join one of our groups to make some amazing connections and realise some amazing people based opportunities

Today was the day , the day low vision and blind drivers can get behind the wheel a put pedal to the metal (on a closed track at Sandown Raceway).

This amazing opportunity is put on by Warrandyte Lions Club and literally provides the opportunity to drive and hold the controls, or be a passenger in a fast car, experience riding a motorbike, and follow it up with a famous Lions sausage sizzle.

Let’s not under estimate the enormity of such an opportunity that sighted people take for granted when you drive.
Michael for the first time ever received his first driving lesson on a professional track and hit 100kmh with thanks to UTURN DRIVE Academy

Callan returned to driving a manual fast following his brain tumour and subsequent low vision thanks to Marian's Driving School

Theo also had his first ever behind the wheel driving experience.

And when David, one of our Tassie clients heard of the offer he had his flights booked and couldn’t wait to drive again and get on a motorbike.

Thanks to all the volunteers and associations that put this big day on, such things take an army of supporters and so much time to pull off and is much appreciated.

This is a very special day on the calendar and exciting to be able to help some of our vision impaired clients plan and participate for some legal driving time on a invite only race track

It gives people with vision impairment the unique opportunity to experience driving in a safe and controlled environment.
