Description: All-terrain wheelchairs are now available in a number of Victoria's parks for visitors with significant physical disabilities to explore the outdoors. Victoria’s first all-accessible floating pontoon and canoe launcher is at Psyche Bend in Kings Billabong in Mildura. The electric Stairclimber, provided by the Buchan Caves Reserve, allows children and light adults (up to 60kg) with mobility limitations access to one of the viewing areas of Fairy Cave, which would normally be inaccessible due to the many steps and narrow passageways. Visitors with mobility limitations wishing to use the Parks Victoria TrailRider all-terrain wheelchair can now book wheelchair operators, or volunteer Sherpas, to assist them. The Brimbank Park Playscape walk in the Park program provides group walks in parks for visitors who are blind or vision impaired.
