Trial an all-terrain wheelchair in some of Victoria's most stunning parks.

All-terrain wheelchairs are now available in four of Victoria's parks for visitors with significant physical disabilities to explore the great outdoors.

The chairs are suited for sandy and semi rough tracks, making it easier to access the many stunning trails in the Grampians and beaches at Cape Conran, Wilsons Promontory and Point Nepean.

They easily disassemble and fit in the back of a station wagon and with the help of operators, you can experience Victoria's parks like never before.

Please supply your own bike helmet at the Grampians and Wilsons Promontory.

Chairs can be booked for free.
