    Words, Words, Words, Rooty Hill - W05

    Rooty Hill: Noun. A trip hazard or uneven section of a concrete path caused by the lifting of sections due to tree roots growing under the path. These are most often found in established leafy suburbs, although can be seen anywhere humans have attempted to concrete over nature.

    It is speculated that a Rooty Hill is natures attempt to bring mankind closer to Mother Earth. This is achieved by tripping them over so they land face first on the ground. The white cane user has a distinct advantage over a guide dog handler in finding a Rooty Hill prior to it causing an unceremonious return to Earth.

    Words, Words, Words, Aramac - W01

    Welcome to a new series inspired by the Douglas Adams book The Meaning of Liff. In this book Douglas matches place names with concepts which have no name, creating an amusing dictionary of terms, some of which are bound to resinate. As blind people, we come across situations that are unique to our community, which also have no name, but again, I'm sure you'll resinate with some of them. In this series we attempt to find names for some of these blindy situations, and share some of our favourites from the Meaning of Liff.

    Aramac, noun. When lost in a shopping centre, the Aramac is the store who's aroma tells you where you are.
