Co-Exist - Sharing our open roads
The co-exist campaign is a road safety initiative of the Caravan Industry Association of Australia designed to inform and educate campers about interacting with trucks safely while on the road.
In plain terms 'Co-Exist' is an education and awareness campaign to help road and rest stop users “Co-exist”.
This is a great website, not just for accessible Rving - I believe EVERY driver should check out this information before you start towing or driving ANY RV in Australia.

Liberty swing
COME SWING WITH US!
FIND A LIBERTY SWING NEAR YOU
The Liberty Swing is a world-first Australian innovation – a swing that allows children in wheelchairs the opportunity to experience the joy of having a swing in the park. It is the only swing of its type that is fully lockable and allows a maximum swing height – that is, really swinging, not just rocking back and forth. When installed and operated according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, it is a very safe and easy to use piece of equipment; the plastic moulded capsule is fitted with an internal steel frame, making it robust enough to withstand the rigours of an outdoor children’s playground or busy schoolyard.
