Australia


AU-379946

This card, mailed from Melbourne, Australia, celebrates a century of military aviation.  It features a very old-fashioned plane on a Maxicard and was stamped on the first day of issue, August 5, 2014.

A Maxicard is described here on postcrossing and this is one of only a few that I've received.  From the Postcrossing website:

What are Maxicards? These maximum cards, as they are often known, are postcards that feature an image (a monument, animal, event, etc) along with a stamp of a very similar or related image on the picture side of the card. 

This card interestingly enough lists on the back that the postage was pre-paid for post posting in Australia and delivery anywhere in the world.
