AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Penny Royal Launceston Postcard


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Images of a tourist attraction right in the heart of Launceston, Tasmania
I used to live in a beautiful mountain hamlet called Liffey - outside Launceston.
When I was forced to leave Tasmania to find work, I was almost heartbroken.
So I collected a range of postcards to keep the memories alive!

Thank you so much for coming by for PFF! It is a delight to have you--my sister Clytie has been telling me about your for quite some time.

She's right--there's something about mailboxes and postcards that go together, don't you think? Happy PFF!
