【Australia】Melbourne: New York House Number and Transit Guide


Distance: 7,315 km (4,545 miles)
Travel time: 10 days

From Megan in Australia and the first card from there. The funny thing is that the recipient of the very first card I sent to Australia is also named Megan. What a coincidence.

This postcard is published by Cavallini, a famous stationary brand in San Francisco. The company is also well-known of its wrapping paper. I have a poster of this same map, but postcard is the other thing.
