The Braille Window Project

Two women walking along George Street, Parramatta, one with a cane.

Description: Looking along George Street, Parramatta, towards a traffic light intersection ahead. Cars are streaming towards a stop light. The footpath stretches off into the distance, a narrow band of dark bitumen flanked on either side by large square slabs of pale grey concrete. In the foreground, on the left of the footpath, temporary steel fencing leans slightly to one side, away from the footpath and towards a construction site. Modern office blocks are in the distance. Two women, seen from behind, are walking side-by-side on the footpath, their arms linked. One woman is wearing a floppy sun hat and loose, comfortable clothing. A bag hangs low on her body, suspended from her left shoulder. The other woman is walking on her right. She wears a white tailored jacket and dark trousers. A white cane held in her right hand feels the ground a metre or so ahead.
