A collection of postcards made by us to show our love of our hometown & our region, and to give you treasures to take home as mementos or to post to your loved ones! Coated on the image side to protect it, but uncoated on the back, they are easy to write on! They are a matching series so they can be displayed together.

We are nature & art lovers, so these are the main subjects of our photographs!

A6 standard postcard sized.

DESCRIPTION- Looking along the promenade at the Cairns Foreshore near Hemingways Brewery, is a multi-piece sculpture depicting sea turtle mating, called Saulal Au Tonar, by award winning Torres Strait artist Dennis Nona. 

The beautiful Turtle pair are backed by a stylised palm tree, and a net with silhouetted Frigate Birds, Frigatebirds are significant to Torres Strait Islander people because they indicate weather patterns, and incoming changes, as well as providing food & eggs.  This is one of the most beautiful public artworks in Cairns, and is work going for a wander to find!
