Blue Mountains Disability Ambassadors “International Day of People with Disability is a great opportunity to see that people with disabilities are an integral part of our community, contributing to the diversity and the unique character of the Blue Mountains,” said Phillip Menzies, from Kirinari Community Services and a member of the organising committee.
