SEW MY GUMLEAF DOWN,SPORT



Expect the unexpected when you open Little Darwin -in this case a 1907 Australian postcard sent to Mrs Julian Barclay, 2116 University Avenue,University Park,near Denver,Colorado,USA. It consists of an actual gumleaf sewn to a map of Australia when the NT was part of South Australia. Expressing best wishes for Xmas and the New Year, it was sent by Madge Magarey ( a surname well known in footie circles) who resided at Park Terrace, Wayville, Adelaide.
