colour and a long way from the beach in the Australian outback, but not the postal service, I think the mail in there must get very hot. The card shows emptiness but
not the stamp. The colours of card and stamp reminds me of this verse from the Australian poem -
My Country by Dorothea Mackellar
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of drought and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me!
Sunday Stamps theme this week is - photography - visit See It On A Postcard

Thank you for the variety of stamps!
That is a good reuse of materials on hand in the outback!
Reading that link to Sievers, his photograph makes more sense.
Oh, I just love those colours on the Australian stamp. It's the very image that comes to my mind when I think of Australia!
I'd like my country issued a series of iconic photographies, too.
