Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view. 

On this week’s show… 

Sam speaks to David Hume   

David was one of many premature babies brn in the mid-20th Century who lost his sight while being treated in an incubator. However, being totally blind has not stopped him having a number if distinguished careers including in Radio; winemaking and Employment Opportunities.   In 1984 and 1985, aboard "Out of Sight Out of Mind" took part in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.

We let David tell his story though an interview, through extracts from his book “Blind Without Barriers” and through his own retellings of a rather tempestuous Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. 

You can find his book in the Vision Australia Library: https://www.visionaustralia.org/services/library/

The book is also purchasable through most retail sites like Amazon; Goodread or Booktopia, or even though David’s own website: https://davidhume.com.au/
