Week 30
// outgoing:
TWO cards went out in week 30 of my Postcrossing challenge: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with Prince George (AU-358520) went to the Ukraine, and a viewcard of the Painted Desert (near Coober Pedy here in South Australia) was sent to Finland (AU-358521).
Week 31
// outgoing:
Another TWO cards went out in week 31: The last of my Leichhardt First Day of Issue postcards to Germany (AU-360025), and a wonderful shot of Memory Cove on the Eyre Peninsula was sent to the USA (AU-360026).
Weeks 30 & 31
// incoming:
Over the course of the fortnight I received a total of EIGHT cards: Two came in from the Netherlands (NL-2503004 and NL-2503003), and another pair from Germany - postcards of the same lighthouse, no less (DE-3191018 and DE-3220361)!
I also received one a piece from Taiwan (TW-1270571), Romania (RO-85123), Russia (RU-2306779), and China (CN-1313987).
Week 32
// outgoing:
We were away vacationing on Kangaroo Island this week, so I wasn't able to scan in the postcards prior to sending them. Tacky photos don't quite cut it, do they?
A postcard of Remarkable Rocks I sent to Belarus (AU-360679), and the Penneshaw sunset postcard sent to the Netherlands (AU-360680) - posted from the island itself.
// incoming:
Just the one card came in this week, from Belarus (BY-1298534).

Lovely postcards Sarah. My local post office is always light on with the maxicards which is a pity and I've been surprised by the lack of postcards available in some tourism centres too. I did manage to find a nice pack of the Australia Post pre-paid postcards this week which I'm happy about.
ReplyDeleteTracy: If you are ever in need of some postcard variety, let me know. I'd be happy to exchange a few pre-paid cards and maxicards. I can't get them from my local post office (too small), but the next town over has them. Sometimes, maxicards are also available at the Post Shop online.
