Short disability trike rides testimonial:
“Hi Katrina,
Yes, we had a great time! Please say a big thank you to Craig, he was fantastic. And thank you for asking about our social media policy. Unfortunately we don’t have consent to share our participants nor staff images on social media outside our own private sharing platform. Some individuals in our organisation have gone as far as explicitly asking us not to share any of their images on any platform. We can’t even publicly ‘like’ your business because Two Shoes Network does not have any public social media accounts. This may change in the future but at present we are very happy to maintain a very low profile.
What can we offer instead? Our participants are, of course, encouraged to share their own personal social media and similarly we’d like to support your business. We also really appreciate you asking for consent before you shared any images. So, we’ve just reached out to some of the participants and asked if we can share an image with Troll Tours social media. They’ve given their consent for us to share this image with you. Hopefully that’s ok with you.”
Sophie and the Two Shoes Team
A few times a year, we do short disability trike rides for the Two Shoes Network. Two Shoes is a social network that specialises in providing challenging recreation activities. These are for groups of young adults with disabilities.
The young adults become so excited when they know another ride day has been organised.
Davidson Park, Roseville
Our trike rider Craig, arrived at Davidson Park, Roseville (a northern suburb of Sydney), at the prearranged time. Usually, he takes three passengers at a time, a carer and two young adults. The idea is to give them all roughly a 20 minute ride around the area.
Firstly, he rode with the passengers from Davidson Park which is under the Roseville Bridge. Secondly, the route was through the back streets of Forestville and Killarney Heights. Though by then, time was nearly up for that group. This meant they turned south and rode back to Davidson Park. Craig would then pick up the next group and take them on the route. And so on. However, the 3 hours was up so soon but all the passengers had a ride (or two). In conclusion, the short disability trike rides were (and always are) a huge success. Everyone had a wonderful time as you can see by the smiles in the photo. After that, they enjoyed a bbq to finish the fabulous day.

Information about the area
The Roseville Bridge is a pre-stressed concrete box girder road bridge. Located adjacent to the suburb of Roseville, in Sydney. Davidson Park is underneath the Roseville Bridge and within Garigal National Park. The Garigal National Park is a protected national park. It is located within the North Shore and Forest District regions of Sydney. At 2,202-hectare (5,440-acre) in size, the national park is quite small but important. Moreover, it is situated just 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the Sydney CBD.
Original peoples
The word Garigal is a derivation of the word Carigal or Caregal. Importantly, this is used to describe the indigenous people who lived in Guringai country. Interestingly, it is translated in modern English as Ku-ring-gai.
Guringai people are the traditional custodians of the land now reserved as the Garigal National Park. In addition, there is considerable evidence of past Aboriginal activity in the area. Over 100 Aboriginal sites recorded to date, including shelters, cave art, rock engravings, middens, grinding grooves and a possible stone arrangement.
