You have to wonder what inspired this syncopated postcard which features two white rabbits-one sucking on a straw from what appears to be a glass of milk , perhaps malted - and a two - volume encyclopedia of great classic composers and their music.
It may even have been an upmarket version of that song about sipping soda through a straw , performed in a warren .
The rabbits are simply identifed as CLEVER BUNNIES , sent 58 years ago by travellers in Saint Helens, Tasmania , said to be the game fishing capital of Tassie, also noted for its oysters.
Going on the handwritten message by a woman on the back of the postcard, it seems family members in North Queensland may have had a collection of animal cards , but not one about rabbits .
Saint Helens had four shops in those days , all inspected , and the capital, Hobart, in l966 was found to be somewhat like Adelaide , South Australian.
(Tasmania, Rabbits, Adelaide.)
