桂林米粉Yummy Guilin Noodle & BBQ Burwood

This place has a pretty groovy and chilled atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. 

There's a level front entrance, with a standard doorway. Wide space between tables and bar, easy to get through to back area and to the toilets, as long as bar isn't 5 deep. 

There's a mixture of high tables and stools and low tables and sofas. The back area opens up into a fairly wide space. 

The toilet is semi-accessible - it has no rails and is not marked as accessible (it's the one marked for women). There's a small lip to get into toilet, so you need to pop a wheely if you're in a manual chair. A powered chair should have no problem (see the photo). If you need rails to transfer you will have to bring a friend or carer in to assist.

A bright airy cafe with upbeat staff and a great menu.   Luca and Connie were thrilled we were there to check them out and extended a cheerful invitation.  A favourite with local nursing home residents, local school community and mums with prams.
Dropped curb access from the road but no dedicated parking.  A lot of locals use the nearby church parking and comply with community requests to vacate that during school recess times. Some pavement seating plus an accessible ramp into the main cafe. The entry way is always open and requires two quick left turns to enter then a right turn to the low counter to order.
The accessible toilet is to the rear of the property, reached by heading back down the ramp, which is undercover.  The day I was there the door was not marked as accessible toilet, and felt a little heavier than average.  The door opens inwards to the right, basin and mirror at an accessible height immediately opposite the door.  The toilet is a right hand transfer and is in the far left corner.  Lights need to be manually flipped on when entering.

Grant Park

Wire mill reserve is a beautiful waterfront pathway / park along Abbotsford Bay. There are few accessible entrances, due to many of the entrances / exits being up stairs or through the apartment blocks with hilly terrain. The main accessible entrance I located is along the path between Allison Park. This is a long walkway up and down hills however there is a constant paved path through this area and is still a pleasant walk.

Due to this distance there is little to no accessible parking or normal parking at all as the reserve is surrounded by buildings and the bay, parking to come to this park would mean parking somewhere closer to Campbell or Allison parks. Once in the park there are some benches however it’s mainly just a walking track along the bay.

Accessible street parking: 40 Bay Road, Russell Lea, New South Wales, 2046

There are no bathrooms, the closest one being at the Campbell Park clubhouse which is quite far away and difficult to access from this area.

My Aunt's Handmade Noodles (Burwood) 胖姨儿手工拉面馆

Maicha Nepalese Restaurant is a Nepalese restaurant located along Burwood Road that offers casual dining for the local community. Based on the entrance view, the restaurant appears to be mostly accessible as it is located at street level with a wide footpath leading to the entrance. This allows wheelchair users and people using mobility aids to approach the venue easily. However, there appears to be a small raised edge at the doorway, which may create a minor barrier for some wheelchair users when entering independently.

The entrance door is manual, which means some visitors with mobility limitations may require assistance to open it. Inside the restaurant, seating areas may have moderately restricted space between tables, which is common in small dining venues. The restaurant does not clearly advertise an accessible toilet, but accessible public toilets are available nearby at Westfield Burwood and Burwood Park, both within a short walking distance.

The location is also convenient for public transport users, as Burwood railway station is around a 10-minute walk away and several bus stops are located along Burwood Road. Overall, the restaurant offers partial accessibility with relatively easy approach and entry, though minor features such as the doorway lip and manual door may require assistance for some visitors with mobility needs.
