Producing realistic postcards

When I produced my first cards in 1992, the only postcards that you could buy on the 3,700 kilometre drive west from Townsville to Broome showed either crocodiles, post offices or fat hairy Hereford cattle in green rolling hills. Green rolling hills that were in fact more than 2,000 kilometres to the south.

There were one or two postcards with photographs taken from the seat of a passing car of a drover’s mob of sheep or cattle. Tourists could have been forgiven for thinking northern Australia had become one big National Park, when in fact they were driving right through some of the largest cattle stations in the world.

There were no Purnululu National Park postcards available with any accurate information on them either, so I produced some with the encouragement of the then Manager of the Turkey Creek Roadhouse. I’ve spent many weeks flying, driving and walking around the ‘Bungle Bungles’ as I find it an absolutely fabulous, intriguing place. It is unique.
