Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ When I first came to Melbourne from Tasmania 10 years ago, I purchased this postcard of a Melbourne icon - Flinders Street station.
What I found intriguing about the postcard was that a vintage style stamp featured as part of the image.

Happy PFF. I really like the night view of the station.

What a perfectly marvelous postcard!
Happy PFF!
It's always a kick when I recognize a PFF postcard from a visit. And I've been here in this station in Melbourne and sat at the window of the beautiful old café at the other side of the street from where this picture must have been taken. It's such a beautiful memory, because I was there on my honeymoon trip. Thanks for sharing. Happy PFF!
I always find any great terminus for travelling so romantic, wondering where people are coming from, or where they're going. Even more so when lit up at night. A wonderful card!
