AUSTRALIA: Animals

Some of the animals unique to Australia.

I was not able to find out much about this poster.  It was published by the Australian News and Information Bureau, 610 Fifth Ave., New York 20, N.Y.  Compared to the other Australia travel posters, it is not nearly as colorful or, frankly, interesting.  It is slightly smaller, too, at 37" x 24".  The animals depicted (starting top left and going clockwise) are the cockatoo, opossum, bookaburra, kangaroo, koala, emu, goanna, platypus, and lyre bird.  It completes the set along with the other two, and so was framed and hung alongside.

AUSTRALIA: Australian Parrots

Colorful poster of some of Australia's many parrots

This is another poster from the Australian National Travel Association.  It is 40" x 25", and as can be seen, full of vibrant colors.  The artist commissioned for this work is James Northfield.  This made a great companion piece to the 'Tallest Trees' poster, and I framed both and hung them together.  

AUSTRALIA: The Tallest Trees in the British Empire - Marysville Victoria

Australian travel poster

This is not a war propaganda poster, but it was in the bag, and I seem to be starting with posters from Australia, so I'm including it here.  The poster is quite large, 40" x 25".  The artist is Percy Trompf.  Sadly, Marysville, Victoria was heavily damaged from a forest fire in 2009.  Along with some other Australian posters, this poster was framed and hung.
