Flashback: August 2008

Our first trial of the prototype mold. The project was being called ‘BOB’ at that stage: Braille on the Beach. We were aiming for Queenscliff Beach back then, but it proved to be too difficult to do it there. The intertidal zone can become very steep and changeable and the swell might have wiped out our hard work prematurely.
