It sounds like a trip to Australia might be one of the easier locations for us to travel. We are from Ontario, Canada. If anyone happens to be planning a road trip here they should look for the “On Route” service centres along the 400 series highways. They have fully accessible washrooms including a height adjustable adult change table and a hoyer lift.

How fantastic Margaret. It is refreshing indeed when things happen smoothly and when people are helpful.

I contacted the relevant authorities about using my Australian Parking Permit. I received a lovely letter back which I have printed out to put on the dashboard. I was also told that I need a special clock which keeps track of the length of time you are parked. They offered and have sent one to the address where we will be staying, all FREE. Refreshing isn’t it?
