• Last weekend our family went for a trip up to Cardwell. We stayed at a really nice , low budget place right on the beach. Child friendly and relaxing . CARDWELL BEACHCOMBER TOURIST PARK

• "I recently took my son grocery shopping where he had a seizure. I was overwhelmed by the support and compassion displayed by fellow shoppers who assisted me and my son - thank you Townsville.

• " Benny's Hot Wok in Palmer Street has always been fantastic with our kids.Our 8 yr old has Autism and the booths makes eating out with" hyper-wriggly' kids much easier. Very Friendly and Good Service!"

• " Entropy Toy Shop on Flinders St ( opp Railway) has a fantastic range of super toys and kids sporting equipment and also very child friendly

• "Riverway All Ablilities PLayground " - what a great new area for our family to visit. Our son has Autism which means escaping a playground is usually our biggest nightmare when having an outing. Here the playground is enclosed which means we can all sit down and relax while our son has a lovely time !

• Tobruk Pool : DAwn runs the swimming program there and she is amazing with our 2 children who have special needs. Can highly recommend her - Thank you.

• BIVOUAK CAMPING GROUND " love it - love it . Kids had a ball which means so did the parents. Best of all only 1 hr out of town so if it all goes pear shaped ...we can come home easily. Don't forget to take their bikes and fishing rods.

• REEF HQ - Still can't go passed this old favourite. Nothing better than sitting back and watching the amazing aquarium . 

• Therapy Hint : Best type of encouragement for getting our daughter to do therapy ....her sisters! Line them up for entertainment and the work gets done without realising it .
