Travelling away from home, or moving to a new place can mean that you lose touch with the people you care about, which is a shame when it is so easy to send a little token to show them that they are still on your mind no matter where in the world you are visiting or living. Writing a letter is not always possible, and sending a normal postcard can seem like too small a gesture. I want to let you know about postcards Australia can offer you and what you can do to make them that little bit more personal.

Fewer and fewer people send postcards today. There was a time when all travelers seemed to send the cards to family to show the exotic places they were traveling. Sometimes as they traveled by train, there was just time to run into the station and pick up a few railway postcards to write and send at the next stop. The subject of the cards were trains and the railroad stations that had been built along the way.
