a map card from australia

postcards, map cards, direct swaps

Here’s another beautiful addition to my map card collection ~ a map card from Down Under. This is a rather colorful + fun depiction of the an Australian map card, which even includes the lovely things indigenous to Australia, including the hoppity kangaroo + the ever-amazing koalas! You can also find amazing Australian attractions in the map card, including the train, the numerous deserts + the famed, Sydney Opera House. Being a British colony, you’d also see towns which are reminiscent of towns found in Great Britain like Carnarvon, Newcastle + Wyndam.

Thanks so much Leah, who blogs at Post Over the Mile, for this beautiful addition to my collection! 😉

This postcard sure sends chills down my spine + conjured images of fire pits from OutdoorFirePlacePros.com in my head. I can only imagine how winter was like in countries abroad. The rainy + stormy days home are enough to give me the quivers!

Given that, it did not make me love this postcard less. I love the drama the snow-capped pine trees makes + I sure would love to experience this before I die! 🙂

I got this postcard, ironically for Valentines of this year, from Jeanine, who wrote this message at the back:

postcards, Malaysia

Here’s a beautiful postcard of the Petronas Towers, or Menara Berkembar Petronas in the Malay vernacular,   in Malaysia. Located in the country’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, it was completed in 1994 + was inaugurated in 1999. It is also the 4th tallest building in the world + is considered the tallest twin buildings ever built.

Thanks Jiaqi, a Postcrossing Enthusiasts member, for mailing me this one! 😉
