Welcome to White Cane Connections.

My name is Sue Boman. Yes, that’s me in the picture posted here. I have called this blog White Cane Connections because I am one of the many people who use a white cane. I began this blog because I wanted to write about a project I undertook in 2012. The plan was to complete a series of walks using my white cane. Between March and September, I walked in 82 different locations across Canada. So, the blog begins by telling of my experiences and the many people I met along the way.

While this particular journey has now been completed, I find that I still have much to write about. I am continuing to make new white cane connections, and so for the time being I will continue to add regular posts to this blog. I am hoping that you will be a partner in the journey.

November 17 - Leaving Tasmania

Today we are leaving Tasmania, flying from Launceston to Melbourne.  It’s been a good week, although much colder than we anticipated.  At least the rain stopped for our last full day of sightseeing.

One of the more enjoyable days was the drive out of Hobart to the top of Mt. Wellington.  It was cold and windy at the summit, and the landscape felt as if we had reached the end of the earth.

The first two pictures at the end of this post show me standing at the summit in front of the boulders beside the boardwalk.

Unfortunately, there aren’t any pictures from our boat ride out of Port Arthur.  The camera was in my pocket but it was way too rough and windy to even think about pictures.

The third picture with this post was taken beside the Tamar River in Launceston. There were some great walking trails by the river where the water was high enough and wide enough to look as if we were standing beside the ocean.

We are sorry to be leaving Tassie but we are looking forward to warmer weather when we reach the mainland.
