The Braille Monitor – January, 2001 Edition

In mid-November

leaders from blindness organizations around the world gathered in Melbourne,

Australia, for the fifth quadrennial general assembly of the World Blind Union.

Dr. Maurer will write about attending this meeting in an upcoming issue. The

Maurer family arrived in Melbourne a bit ahead of the meeting and had an opportunity

to see something of the city and the surrounding countryside. One of the places

they went was a wildlife preserve on their way to Philip Island, where visitors

could buy food to feed to the kangaroos who lived there. In this picture President

Maurer is kneeling to meet a couple of them. One is actually eating out of his

hand.
