Cover from Australia

 

I didn't received cover from Australia for a very long time, so it was pleasant surprise to find this one in my mailbox several months ago. It was sent in April 2020, but COVID-19 lock downs slowed this cover on way to me and it's a CCCC circuit cover which will not be continued until Serbia reopens postal traffic with Cuba, unfortunately. On this cover you can see two stamps: Kincumber Jetty, from set Australian Jetties, issued on 21.2.2017, and Cliefden Caves from Caves set issued on 2.5.2017. And on them is beautiful and very clear postmark from Fairfield in New South Wales. 

Thank you so much, Krešimir!

The Outback of Western Australia

The Outback is the vast, remote, arid interior of Australia. The term "the outback" is generally used to refer to locations that are comparatively more remote than those areas named "the bush" which, colloquially, can refer to any lands outside the main urban areas. I like this funny sign on top.

Stamp is The 90th Anniversary of the Birth of Queen Elizabeth II - Golden Wattle Diamond Brooch, issued on 05.04.2016.


Thank you Selinder!

Australia: National Motor Museum in Birdwood

The National Motor Museum, Birdwood, is an automobile museum in Birdwood, South Australia. Established in 1964 and opened to the public soon afterwards, it is Australia's largest motor museum, with over 300 vehicles on display.

You can see on postcard 1956 Holden FJ - beautiful car.

The Holden FJ series is a range of motor vehicles which was produced in Australia by Holden from 1953 to 1957. The FJ was the second model of an "all Australian car" manufactured by Holden and was based upon the established 48-215 series, commonly referred to as the "FX". Originally specified as 60 bhp (45 kW) achieved at 3,800 rpm, the claimed maximum power output from the six-cylinder engine was increased to 65 bhp achieved at 4,000 rpm.

Stamp is Wilderness Australia: Victoria's Alpine National Park, issued on 2014-10-01.
