Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Last week I posted an overview of the Penny Royal Museum in Launceston, Tasmania. Here is another perspective.
These replicas of 19th century gunpowder mills are set into a towering rocky cliff face.
(Maybe not a vintage postcard but represents a vintage scene!)

I do like they recreated the mills, mostly I like that blue boat. Great card.
Tricky business, those gunpowder mills! Love those rugged cliffs in the background ... set against that azure blue sky ...
Have a beautiful and blissful weekend!
Great post, my kids always wanted to go to live in Tasmania. It's lovely.mine is here.

Lovely postcard!
One of the things I love Australia is their careful preservation of the past.
(You seem to be a very busy person Gemma :))
Your meme is very interesting. My daughter is passionate taking pictures of mailboxes. And am still looking out for her file. For some reason I couldn't find it. She wouldn't mind me sharing it here.
Gunpowder mills sound frighteningly dangerous places. I like your postcard, though, and the fact that history is being remembered.
I bet it isw an interesting place to visit. we have a powder mill museum not far from us.
It looks like a place well worth a visit. It's always good to have heritage preserved, and better still to have postcards to shore it. :)
Lovely card. I wonder if this was named after Launceston in Cornwall.
What a wonderful postcard! Thank you so much for adding a link to PFF! I have added a link to your page as well, and reminded those who've taken part, to visit your page.
Thanks for your support and Happy PFF!
