🌿 Damper Creek Reserve in Mount Waverley is a true little oasis tucked right into suburbia. 🚗💨

One minute you’re driving down a bustling suburban road, and the very next, you feel like you’re a million miles away, wandering through lush green bushland! We're talking gorgeous tall trees, lush ferns, a gently flowing creek, and birds... so many birds singing away in the canopy! 🐦🦜✨

The best part? There are easy paths to choose from so you can completely avoid any stairs, which is ALWAYS a massive win in my books! 🙌👟♿

If you need a quiet retreat to recharge without traveling far out of the city, this peaceful pocket of nature is so worth a visit. 🌳🍃

Tilligerry Habitat 🌿🍃

What a stunning place! I used to think the Dandenongs had a monopoly on ferns, but heading along the track here puts you right in the middle of an absolute sea of green. 🌿☀️ We stopped for ages just watching the sunlight peek through the fronds.

The path leads you through the bush with plenty of boardwalks along the way until you reach the Tanilba Bay boardwalk. And this is where things get interesting! 😅

Some sections of the boardwalk aren't super well-maintained, so you definitely have to watch your step (literally!). 🪵👟 But oh, the views! You are rewarded with absolutely stunning waterfront vistas as you wander along. 🌊✨

Supposedly there are wild koalas hanging out here too, though they were playing hide-and-seek when we visited! 🐨👀

Such a beautiful walk and well worth the visit... just remember to mind your step! 🥾

So isn't it lovely when your hubby decides to surprise you with a trip to Peninsula Hot Springs? 🥰🧖‍♀️✨ Not only that, but he booked a private spa for 45 blissful minutes of candlelit romance. 🕯️🌿

It was pure heaven... until the dreaded knock on the door to let us know our time was up! ⏰🚪😱

Hubby springs up like a gazelle and hops straight out. 🦌💨

Me? Well... sliding into the spa was easy, but getting out?! How the heck was I meant to accomplish that?! 🧗‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Not sure about anyone else, but with two knee replacements, kneeling is a hard NO. It is the strangest, most bizarre feeling, and I avoid it at all costs! 🙅‍♀️🦿⚡

So there I was, panicking in the water. I tried swimming forward, thrashing around, and ended up flipping onto my back flailing like an overturned turtle stuck in a whirlpool. 🐢🌀💦 Absolutely zero progress was made.

Somehow, in pure desperation, I managed to briefly touch a knee down, grab the edge, and "gracefully" (as IF! 😂) heave my entire body over the side like a beached whale. 🐋🌊✨

Romantic spa escape: 10/10.
Exit strategy: -1/10. 🏆🤦‍♀️

Next time, please send a winch and a rescue crew! 🚜🚨😂

🚣‍♂️ Exploring Echuca from the Water! 🌊✨

Echuca is absolutely wonderful to see from the land, but nothing beats experiencing it right from the water! 🚤🌾

If you are planning to launch, the Victoria Park Boat Ramp is hands down the best option in town. It is packed with fantastic accessibility features designed to make getting on the water stress-free for everyone:

♿ All-Abilities Access: Features an accessible walkway leading down to a floating pontoon.

📐 Smart Safety Feature: The gangway includes a gradient indicator! Since water levels fluctuate, this helpful gauge lets you know at a glance if the slope is safe for your mobility aid or if you will need a hand heading down.

🦽 Boat Hoist Available: There is a dedicated hoist on-site for wheelchair users to transfer into boats (just make sure to bring your own sling!).

Once you are out on the Murray River, the scenery is simply stunning. 🌳☀️ Just remember to keep your wits about you while you take in the views, as you will be sharing the river with historic paddle-steamers and floating houseboats! 🚢🏠

Cape Schanck Boardwalk 🌊🏮🥾

Wowee... how have I grown up in Melbourne and never been here?! 🤦‍♀️✨

I have to be honest though, I just saw the word "boardwalk" and got way too excited. I love a good boardwalk! Then I started on the trail to get to the beginning of it... and realized this isn't just any old boardwalk. This one is HUGE, and it has the thing I hate most: STAIRS. 😅🪜

This walk is absolutely stunning. As you head along, you get sweeping views over the bay on one side and the roaring Southern Ocean on the other, with the gorgeous, rugged colors of the coastline wrapping all around you. 🌊⛰️

The boardwalk winds all the way down until you reach the shore. On your right, you get a incredible view of Pulpit Rock, and on your left, a beautiful, pebble-strewn rocky beach. 🪨🌊

Now, here is my top tip: if you are like me and huff and puff your way back up the stairs, winter is secretly the best time to go! Cape Schanck is a famous spot for whale watching, so every single time you need to stop to catch your breath, just turn around, gaze dramatically out to sea, and everyone will think you've just spotted a whale! 🐋👀🤫

This walk basically has a bit of everything... apart from an escalator! Absolutely worth the effort! 😍🌾

🌅 Newcastle Memorial Walk 🌊🦽

What a stunning, fully accessible walk with gorgeous, sweeping views right down the coastline! 📸✨

Crossing the 450-meter cliff-top bridge is an absolute highlight. Honestly, building a massive steel bridge here feels pretty apt given Newcastle’s deep history with BHP! 🏗️🏭

It is also packed with history. As you stroll across, you will notice striking steel soldier silhouettes, with detailed history panels telling the story of the area’s local involvement and sacrifice in World War I. 🎖️🕊️

Whether you are soaking in the coastal scenery or learning about the local history, this is a must-visit spot when you are in town. ☀️🚶‍♀️

ExploreABLE isn’t about conquering the highest mountain or racing to be the first across the finish line.

ExploreABLE is simply about getting out into nature and giving it a go!

It doesn’t have to look pretty, and you might not even make it all the way to the end, and that is totally okay. The main thing is that you showed up, breathed in the fresh air, and gave it your best shot! 🌿👟💚🎉

I’ve heard of Cardinia Lakes, but wow—I didn't expect it to be this beautiful! 🤩 It’s actually a disused quarry turned into a stunning walking spot full of amazing birdlife 🦢🦅.

There’s a seating area halfway round where I decided to practice my air guitar and bow to my 'fans'... until a family with a dog rounded the corner and gave me a very weird look 🎸😳. (Awkward! 😂).

It really is a little oasis in suburbia 🏙️✨. The best part? It is accessible! ♿️ There are stairs to a viewpoint, but honestly, forget them—the views are way better from ground level anyway! 🙅‍♂️

Coppins Track 🥾🌿

How on earth have I never heard of this walk when it is so close to Melbourne?! 🤯

I just tackled this track from Sorrento Ocean Beach to Diamond Bay, and wow... absolutely stunning coastline scenery. The trail itself is mostly sand that gives your legs a bit of a workout, mixed with a few stairs to climb, but the views are worth every single step. Truly beautiful! 😍✨

⚠️ QUICK HEADS UP FOR DETOURS: All the info online tells you to stop off at St Pauls Beach along the way. Don’t bother planning for that—the access stairs are completely closed right now due to severe erosion and unstable cliffs. 🙅‍♀️

But keep pushing through to Diamond Bay, because it is an absolute showstopper! The stunning turquoise water and those dramatic sandstone cliffs are next-level gorgeous. 🌊🧗‍♀️

This is officially on my list to do again and again. Pure magic! 💙
