Werribee Mansion, Rose Garden and Zoo

On Monday this week I rented a wheelchair van for the day, with my friend and carer Iva, to Werribee to visit the Werribee Mansion (an old structure from the 1800s that has been preserved and turned into sort-of a museum). The rose gardens (which are in the mansion’s grounds). And Werribee Zoo (just next door). I thought about writing about my amazing day but then I thought, why don’t I just show you?

Enjoy!

Well written and worth the read. We can learn so much from people like @evanb_y who are willing to share their story.

People with invisible disabilities like me are routinely disbelieved — and it can have long-lasting effects https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-30/invisible-disabilities-routinely-disbelieved/101420680?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=twitter&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web via @ABCaustralia

I’m in news nerd heaven! I’m working at @ABCthedrum for the week for #IDPWD. As a little girl, while all of my friends would be watching cartoons, I would be watching 7:30 Report with Kerry O’Brian. /1

Looking forward to hanging out with the @abcnews breakfast crew tomorrow morning around 7.40am… talking Disability pride, international day of people with disability, and my own journey to loving my body as it is ❤️
