Map and Stamps
This time instead of words, Denny choose stamps to spoke for themselves😂, but to be honest i really like it. They all are unique in their own way and are telling more about australian nature than any other written word.…
Or “the Land down under” seem to be one of the most dangerous lands ever discovered.
It is home to amphibians (the saltwater crocodile), mammals (the Tasmanian devil), insects (the Sydney funnel web), snakes (the Easter brown snake) and sea creatures (like the box jellyfish and the blue ring octopus) that are out to kill you
Besides that, the land is still most known for its unique flora and fauna, like
– Flora – eucalyptus, Green Bead Orchid, Palm Valley Myrtle, Sturt’s Desert Rose and many many others,
– Fauna – marsupials (it has over 200 species), Coala, Echidna, Platypus, Wombat, Goanna, dingo and many many other.
Ok, these facts are more or less known for everyone, but for me other interesting facts are:
– Uluru (Ayers Rock) is known as the largest monolith in the world and is over 8km wide at its widest point
– Australia’s dingo fence is longer than the Great Wall of China
– Batman is not only the name of Gotham’s dark knight but also the name of a real-life explorer who founded the city of Melbourne – Initially, he declared the land as being called Batmania. Hihi well now that would’ve been fun 😂
– Australia is surrounded by over 8,000 islands, with Mainland Tasmania, Melville Island, Kangaroo Island, and King Island being the largest of them all.
– There are three times as many sheep than people living in Australia
– The Kangaroo and Emu were chosen to be the two animals on the Australian Coat of Arms because they can’t walk backwards, reflecting a forward-thinking culture.

Denni is my dear postcard friend. I know him for years and he never let me down with any postcard. All of the postcards he sent to me are unique and beautiful, as Australia is. This is my first postcard…
