Disability Sport & Recreation Festival<br />
Go your<br />
own way<br />
On a warm and bright summer’s<br />
day along the beautiful Crown<br />
Riverwalk, the Independence<br />
Australia team attended the recently<br />
held annual Disability Sport &<br />
Recreation Festival (DSR).<br />
Each year, the festival coincides with International<br />
Day of People with Disability, and welcomes<br />
thousands of people of all abilities who come<br />
along to engage in and learn about what<br />
sport and recreation opportunities are out<br />
there for those living with a disability.<br />
The Independence Australia team asked the<br />
question, “What does independence mean to you?”<br />
Answers varied, from people acknowledging that<br />
it’s something they take for granted, to those who<br />
interpret it as being in control of their own life.<br />
Those interested in finding out more about what<br />
Independence Australia offered were provided<br />
with information about the camps, day trips,<br />
personal recreation and community access<br />
programs, and volunteering opportunities.<br />

program, email services@independenceaustralia.com<br />
