Postcard Friendship Friday #5


This postcard was sent to me by one of my pen pals. I had several military pen pals when I was in high school and college. One, in particular, used to send me postcards when his ship went somewhere new. He spent a lot of time in Australia so I have some from Perth too....maybe I'll post those next week!


I especially like this one because of what is printed on the back. All of this was really printed on the card, even the P.S. part...


Aerial View of Sydney Tower

At 305 m (1000 feet), it is the tallest strcuture in Australia and a magnificent addition to Sydney's skyline.

P.S. CLIMBING THE TOWER FROM THE OUTSIDE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED!


I typed it just as it was on the postcard with all caps and exclamation mark! Makes you wonder how many people have tried to climb it.

Attack of the monster Koala! I'm glad that they only eat Eucalyptus leaves when I see this! People are always trying to climb the side of the Eiffel tower too!

I love it!! Thank you for sharing. Blessings

I thought of King Kong too. The koala bear doesn't seem quite as threatening.

Someone should have told this giant Koala that it's dangerous to pull this kind of stunt after eating too much eucalyptus. Fun card. I love koalas, but this guy is a little large. Happy PFF, Aimee!

Hello from Pakistan!

I want to swap a postcard with world UNESCO heritage site from your country. Can you send me one such card?
In return I can send you a nice postcard with beautiful landscape from Pakistan - which I think will be a great addition in your collection?

That's a great card - great fun! :) I have very few Australian cards, so it's good to see. Thanks for your visit to mine.

Great card, Aimee! I liked learning a little about you and your pen-pals, too. I notice you are just down the road from me. I'm in North Richland Hills. Happy PFF and happy week.

I most definitely will NOT be attempting to climb that thing if I ever am visiting.
Your blog header is terrific!
