A fluffy koala perches with casual authority atop a weathered wooden post, yellow wattle blooms blazing behind it in a vivid green canopy — one of the most charming wildlife portraits to emerge from Australia's golden era of tourism postcard publishing in the 1970s, when Sandscene International and John Sands Pty Ltd cornered the market on pocket-sized natural history for the backpacker generation. The back carries a miniature natural history lesson: the koala "has survived for more than a million years without changing," ranges 12–30 inches tall, seldom drinks water, and derives all food and moisture from eucalyptus leaves — facts that were fresh news to most international tourists of the era. Published under catalog number JSC112 by Sandscene International, printed by John Sands Pty Ltd, Australia. The card's distinctive deckled/pinked edges are a hallmark of the Sandscene series. Unused and clean.
