Nation­al Parks and Wildlife Ser­vice South Aus­tralia is part­ner­ing with the Dis­trict Coun­cil of Yankalil­la and the City of Mitcham Coun­cil to pro­vide new oppor­tu­ni­ties to expe­ri­ence the nat­ur­al envi­ron­ment for peo­ple liv­ing with a disability. 

Belair Nation­al Park is pleased to offer vis­i­tors free use of the MT Push, an all-ter­rain assist­ed wheel­chair. The MT Push will pro­vide inclu­sive access to a wide vari­ety of ter­rain, mud, grav­el, grass and uneven pathways. 

The MT Push is a per­fect part­ner­ship for both the rid­er and the assist­ing per­son push­ing – offer­ing com­fort, safe­ty and ease of use. The push han­dle locat­ed behind the rid­er is where the steer­ing and brak­ing takes place by the rider’s bud­dy. Moun­tain bike-style tyres and air sus­pen­sion pro­vides a com­fy ride and hydraulic disc brakes give excel­lent all-weath­er control. 

You can col­lect the MT Push from the Belair Nation­al Park Infor­ma­tion Office from 9:30am every day, with returns due by 4pm. 

Please note a hire agree­ment form will be required to be filled out upon hire as well as pro­vid­ing a copy of a Dri­vers License or anoth­er valid form of iden­ti­fi­ca­tion. Once hired from the Belair Nation­al Park Infor­ma­tion Office, the MT Push is only to be used with­in Belair Nation­al Park. 

This has been made pos­si­ble through the Open­ing the Door to Nature project which is fund­ed by the Aus­tralia Gov­ern­ment Depart­ment of Social Ser­vices and also forms part of a Uni­ver­si­ty of South Aus­tralia research project which aims to eval­u­ate the impact the use of all-ter­rain trikes has on users. Your par­tic­i­pa­tion in this project through the com­ple­tion of a pre and post use sur­vey will be great­ly appreciated.

Nature’s secrets are wait­ing to be dis­cov­ered at every step of the five-day trek, with the trail weav­ing its way through the most botan­i­cal­ly unique area in all of South Aus­tralia before reach­ing the rugged, remote and spec­tac­u­lar coast­line of the South­ern Ocean. The unimag­in­able beau­ty of this part of the world has to be seen to be believed. Come and dis­cov­er the mag­ic for yourself.
