This is so encouraging to see as someone with mobility issues who has a wheelchair bound partner. We have been looking into starting a homesteading kind of property with some friends, and often worry about what we can bring to the table as far as manual labor. This is awesome.

Outstanding resilience ❤ Supportive family. Cheers to Tim

I had a stroke and recognise all these problems. You want so much, know so much but you cann't do it fysically. I am glad with the things I can still do. Often things others say you can't do.

Great story!

An amazzing story, as you folk often refer to a someone like this remarkable woman as a 'battler'. Adaptation and an open mind works well for anyone who encounters a life changing injury.

4 things: First, wow! I'm a wheelie myself and know how much effort wheeling over grass takes, so well done. Love your stubbornness and strength 💪💜 Second, I also have the trigger hand controls and omg they are so much nicer on the shoulder and wrist. A decade on and I still get people surprised to see me get my chair out 😂 Third, love to see the TradeMutt shirts. They are a wonderful idea. Lastly and most importantly, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your necklace 😍😍😍 (can I ask where you got it? 🤫)

There's only one thing to do after such an incident. Get on with making a good life for yourself. She has an interesting life and lovely family.

Can anyone make a more suitable, all terrain wheelchair for rough terrain out there in Tassie thick tyres lighter wheels, anyone out there Down Under cos it would apply to anyone disabled whether you're a city slicker or bushperson?

Ummm. Tasie is sooo much more New Zealand than Australia I reckon.
