MAKIN' WHOOPEE - GATEWAY TO THE REEF- POSTCARD

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- Indigenous artist Brian Robinson, is the artist behind this spectacular public art piece, as well as the woven fish in our Lagoon!

"Citizens Gateway to the Great Barrier Reef" or "Citizens Gateway" was commissioned on behalf of the Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef, and the artwork announces the global launch of the movement, while framing Cairns as the official gateway to the World-Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef — one of the seven wonders of the natural world.

Inspired by the local Aboriginal reef creation story and intertwined with both Indigenous and international narratives, Citizens Gateway reflects Cairns’ dynamic cultural life and highlights the spectacular marine environment gracing its coastline. A totemic stingray leads an arched wave of marine creatures and birds towards a future in which the Reef is preserved in all its glory, offering an inspirational environmental vision for visitors and viewers to support. 

At six metres in height, with a brilliantly polished stainless steel surface, the artwork encourages passers-by to reflect on their connection to the Reef, evoking a sense of environmental responsibility.
