Postcrossing? never heard of it!

This card come s from a geocacher named Frogglin.
They write:
Hi pesky!
This is the Monash Bridge. A single lane bridge that crosses the Diamond Creek.
Be a good spot for a cache if not for the night time stoners lurking beneath.

I also happen to know Frogglin is into another interesting past-time called Postcrossing. Postcrossing is an activity where you can send a postcard to a random person anywhere in the world, and in return receive one from another random person from anywhere on the planet. once you receive it you can blog about it online so everyone can find out, if you want. Aparently Frogglin has sent and received hundreds of cards so far. I have her to thank for getting my daughter and me into Postcrossing. Check it out at Http://www.postcrossing.com
for a little bit of time and effort you can find out so much about this planet and the people we share it with.

Hey Hey, its a late Posting by Pesky.


OH i doo feel a bit sheepish.
this card was stuck to the back of another by a wayward postage stamp. and it was only when i tried to match find logs to cards received that i realised it was not on the web.
it turned up when i went trhough my box of postcards one at a time.
thanks for the card, the show has been airing for a few months now and is almost as good as when oit was first on years ago.
thanks for the card.

Sorry for the belatetd posting of this card.
I've only just uncovered it from a pile of stuff under my desk! ( oops)

this card is from the M-Family.
They write...
Hi Pesky, This is the latest exhibition on at the NGA in Canberra.
Hope you enjoy this iconic ustralian landscape.
egards, The M-Family.

The image is of an iconic Australian Gum, with the Flinders ranges in the background. Very poigniant, as we have just returned from the Flinders, and enjoyed the many wonderous views amongst them.

YOu are here!--->


This card arrived, anonymously, possibly from the M.I.B.
no note no co-ords, so i can only post the image!
Perhaps if we line up the star charts i can find the point of origin of the postcard?

Half your luck!

Team Wibble have sent a card form a very nice location indeed.
they write:

Pesky,
We were lucky to swim in this pool after Mr Wibbles sister's wedding in Penang, Malaysia. The swankiest place we've ever stayed at - Huge suite with a butler, only $100 AD a night! ( exhorbitant by Malaysian standards) We've even found a cache less than 1km from here.
N:05'25.393 E:100'20.182.

the image on the card is of the pool at the Eastern & Oriental Hotel , Panang , Malaysia.

Ships in the night?, so close we could have waved!

I arrived home from my trip to Cameron Corner,and the Flinders Ranges to find this post card in our mail.
The sent date on the card is the 7th. of July. We were in Broken Hill for the start of our trip only a few days before this. We left Broken Hill on the morning of the 3rd.!
