Wayne Lewis (born 1951/1952) is an Australian Paralympic lawn bowler. He became a paraplegic while working on a farm with his father. He was sitting underneath a slasher and changing the blades; the hydraulics broke and the slasher collapsed on him.[1]
His father pulled him out, and played a major role in his rehabilitation; he encouraged his son back into driving tractors on the farm.[1]
After the accident Lewis taught himself to ski and played lawn bowls.[1]He won a silver medal in the men's lawn bowls pairs with Ken Moran at the 1984 New York/Stoke Mandeville Paralympics.[2][3] Lewis and his wife Carol run a 1,600-hectare (4,000-acre) sheep and cattle property and a bed and breakfast lodge called Ruth's House near Tatong in Victoria.[1][4] He is a Life Member of the Tatong Football Netball Club.[5]
