00:00Would you like me to take a photo? Say Sydney!
00:03I'm Ellie Cole, I'm a retired Paralympic swimmer
00:06and today I'm going to be taking you to some of my favourite spots in Sydney.
00:09Oh, what a feeling!
00:11Take me to Too Good in Darlinghurst, please.
00:14So cool around here, there's so many little cafes, people out there enjoying their morning.
00:18Like, what a beautiful day in Sydney.
00:19I love this place.
00:21Firstly, it's a social enterprise, it helps disadvantaged Australians.
00:24Secondly, it's a great accessible venue.
00:26Now I'm going to take you to an amazing view, opera bar for lunch.
00:30I grew up in the Mornington Peninsula.
00:32We're known so much for the good food and wine down there.
00:35Wow!
00:35I mean, it doesn't get more fresh than this.
00:37Dad used to work in Japan, so we had a very heavy Japanese influence in my family growing up.
00:41Oishi desu ne!
00:42Oh my gosh, that tastes so good.
00:44I see your beady little eye.
00:47In a restaurant now, it's not just about the food, it's about the experience as well.
00:50Oh, this person's waving.
00:51Most of my friends are Paralympians, so accessibility is really important.
00:55And, you know, it's a place where we obviously connect socially.
00:58No one should ever feel excluded from that.
01:00Alright, to the next spot.
01:02We are off to Olympus to grab some yummy food.
01:05Adabadechi!
01:07Sydney has turned it on.
01:09My Toyota accessories are super useful.
01:11Not only for my friends with disabilities, but for my able-bodied friends as well.
01:15Sitius, altius, fortius guys, let's go!
01:18The setting is gorgeous.
01:19Really easy access, really easy to navigate, and there's so much natural light.
01:22They do want it.
01:23Right in front of me, thank you.
01:26Enjoy!
01:27Oh yeah, that looks nice.
01:28Mmm, mmm, mmm.
01:29You don't think too much about accessibility until you require it yourself.
01:33You've just got to really look for those queues.
01:35I found all of these places on the welcome dining part of Urban List.
01:38There is way too much food here for me, so I'm going to need some help.
01:41Team assemble!
01:42Oh no so!
01:42As you know!
01:42You're good!
01:42Lying proportions!
01:45You're good!
