It’s time for July’s Disabled Travelers deaf travel update … and just as I predicted, there’s more and more going on in the deaf travel world every month!
Granted, I haven’t found what I would call “access guides” for the globetrotter with hearing loss, but I’m kicking up my search a notch and hope to report back with more findings very soon.
There’s so much to share lately, you might see a deaf travel doubleheader from me this month! [more]
Disabled Travelers Australia Series: Brisbane
Posted July 16th, 2010 in Accessible Travel, Wheelchair Accessible Attractions, access guides and hotel reviewsHowdy, mates!
Today’s installment of our Australia access guides brings us to beautiful Brisbane, capital of Queensland.
Located on the east coast, and bisected by the Brisbane River, it is the third-most populated city anywhere in Australia.
Being coastal, its climate is less arid and more hospitable for handicapped travelers visiting Oz from afar. The Central Business District is largely walkable, and the city is known for its burgeoning live music scene, which incorporates new and classic flavors.

Disabled Travelers Australia Series: Canberra
Posted July 12th, 2010 in Accessible Travel, Wheelchair Accessible Attractions, access guides, helpful information, hotel reviews and restaurant reviewsWelcome back to Disabled Travelers!
We have been wandering around the Australian outback for a few posts now, and it is time to check out accessibility in some great cities.
Sydney may be the most famous, but the capital of Australia is actually Canberra, in the southeast corner of the continent.
Called the “Bush Capital” for its lush greenery and wide-open public spaces, it has some of the country’s oldest and most distinguished museums and art collections, plus all the historic government sites you would expect from a world capital. [more]

Disabled Travelers First Look: New Zealand
Posted June 28th, 2010 in Accessible Travel, Wheelchair Accessible Attractions and access guidesGood day, all, and welcome back to your Disabled Travelers blog.

Together, these two countries are the most visible tourist destinations of the Oceania area, hosting millions of able and handicapped travelers each year. I don’t really know what to expect from accessibility in New Zealand, so let’s enjoy a journey of discovery together. [more]

You know, after about four posts, you might think we’ve done just about everything it’s possible to do in the City of Lights here at Disabled Travelers.
