Take a Walk on the Wild Side

It’s another #AccessibleAdventure 🐨🐍🦁

The Caringa Community gals took a WILD trip to Port Mac early in September, to celebrate the start of Spring and discover the Billabong Zoo & Wildlife Park.


Annie, Deb R, Deb A, Sarah, and Sinead were excited to take in the stunning ocean view from the beautiful Northpoint Apartments in Port Macquarie, as well as taking advantage of the stunning resort-style pool as a heat wave hit ~ (we think Spring was bypassed straight for Summer!)

The highlight of the long weekend away was undoubtedly the invitation for our Caringa Crew to indulge in a VIP animal encounter at the Billabong Zoo & Wildlife Park.

Thank you to the Caringa Crew of Tiff M, Lisa D and Jacynta M as well as the Caringa Team Leaders (special shout out to Lisa, Matt and David); for your support, planning and logistics – and of course the wider Caringa Community (that’s YOU), who support ALL of our community members to life their best and most complete life out in the WILD!

Thank You

to the team and staff at Northpoint Apartments Port Macquarie.

Our stay in the Three Bedroom Accessible Apartment was dreamy, located on the 8th floor, accessible via lift and with expansive ocean views from the accessible balcony. The entire unit was wheelchair accessible including the wet room bathroom. We found the spacious kitchen fully equipped with everything the Caringa Crew needed to make this our ‘home away from home’ for the mini vacay!

Northpoint Apartments offers self-contained apartments suitable for every traveller, whether you are an individual, couple, family or group of friends. They have everything we as a group needed for our Port Macquarie holiday, with beaches, shopping and dining all within reach, as a part of our Caringa Community #AccessibleAdventures
