Brisbane, Australia

Postcard ID: AU-401193
Country: Australia

I have quite big collection of city view postcards (not Australian, but at all). Sometimes some of them look boring for me, I like colourful, unique card. But I cannot say such words about night city views - they are always adorable!

This one is full of lights and with so great bridge!

Brisbane is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland, and the third most populous city in Australia. The Brisbane central business district stands on the original European settlement and is situated inside a bend of the Brisbane River, approximately 15 kilometres from its mouth at Moreton Bay. The metropolitan area extends in all directions along the floodplain of the Brisbane River valley between Moreton Bay and the Great Dividing Range. The metropolitan area sprawls across several of Australia's most populous local government areas, including the City of Brisbane, which is by far the most populous LGA in the nation. The demonym of Brisbane is Brisbanite.

Brisbane is named after the Brisbane River on which it is located, which in turn was named after Scotsman Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825.

This card is just amazing! Now I want to visit this place and see this beauty with my own eyes! I think that now I have one more association with Australia :)

Lavandula (common name lavender) is a genus of 39 known species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to the Old World and is found from Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, southern Europe across to northern and eastern Africa, the Mediterranean, southwest Asia to southeast India. Many members of the genus are cultivated extensively in temperate climates as ornamental plants for garden and landscape use, for use as culinary herbs, and also commercially for the extraction of essential oils. The most widely cultivated species, Lavandula angustifolia is often referred to as lavender, and there is a colour named for the shade of the flowers of this species.

Also the backside contains cool stamp with royal family:

This card came to me from Australia, however it shows wild flower from Vietnam. A sender travels so much and decided to make me a surprise with this card. Thank you, Hayley!

As I have received card from Australia quite rarely, I really like the stamps:
