Postcards from Australia - Part 4


Hub's father was stationed on the U.S.S. Idaho from 1925 to 1929.

Manuel Howard Warren Sr. (AKA Howard) had the opportunity to travel the world will serving in the Navy.  On one of this trips he was in Sydney, Australia.  Recently - in three different posts - I shared unused postcards he had either bought or received from someone while he was visiting Sydney, Australia.  


These are the last in a series of 11 postcards - these two are from south Australia and from Queensland Australia.

For those interested in the Warren side of the family I hope to start blogging about them after the first of the year.

Postcards from Australia - Part 2


This is part two of a 3 to 4 part series of postcards that were in a collection of hubs dad's that the hub's inherited many years ago. See the first set here. Watch next week for additional postcards.



 Photos for the postcards were taken between 1830 and 1855 in Sydney, Australia.  They were purchased by my Father-in-Law, Manuel Howard Warren Sr. (AKA Howard) sometime in the late 1920s or early 1930s either while on a tour of duty with the U.S. Navy or on a visit.

Postcards from Australia

These postcards were in a collection of hubs dad's that the hub's inherited many years ago. There are about a dozen of these so I will just post 3-4 at a time.  Watch next week for additional postcards.

Manuel Howard Warren Sr. aka Howard was in the navy in the 1920's and 1930's....his travels took him to Australia where he apparently purchased or received these postcards:





As you can see these artwork/photography on these date back to the mid-1800's.  The set has never been used (mailed, written on) and are in new condition.  I hold the originals on these.
