A batch of postcards sent by travellers between the l960s and 1980s provide a panoramic view of the Northern Territory in all its glory . A sample follows .
Darwin is presented as part of Paradise in this artistic production by Wayne Zerbe, actually sent from Hall's Creek, Western Australia, to Mareeba, North Queensland .
Close to Christmas l967 , this shot of the Darwin post office was by Uwe Steinwald , the city described as a lovely place.
The Katherine Gorge stars in this postcard sent in l980 . The weather was beautiful, but the barramundi were not biting . The sender had just taken up a new job in the area and was looking for a cheap caravan .
Barras were obviously biting in this Alice Springs produced postcard , the sender telling Tomasich family back in Dimbulah, Queensland, he was enjoying Northern Territory draught beer at every possible opportunity .
