TheAge.com.au gives the tip of hat to the travelers with disabilities market:

While many of us take for granted the ability to take a spontaneous trip or "wing it" when travelling, for those with a disability it is not that simple. Travelling with a disability, or accompanying a disabled traveller, takes a good deal of planning, research, patience and humour, but where there is a will, there is nearly always a way.

Thankfully, it is getting easier, with more services available for disabled travellers (though some would say it is not changing fast enough).
