This beauty is an official Postcrossing postcard that came all the way from Western Australia.

| The didgeridoo is an iconic Aboriginal Australian musical instrument and is used in traditional dances and ceremonies. Postcard ID: AU 144-749 |
The sender said the postcard doesn't show much of a "traditional costume" (pertaining to my postcard preference) but it is a traditional way to dress for Aboriginal people. Heather, this is more than okay - this is perfect! Thank you very much. It shows not only the traditional way of dressing for the Aboriginal Australians but also two of their ancient traditions - body art and playing the didgeridoo - that still thrives amongst modern-day Aborigines.
This is one of the best cards I've seen in a long time. You do get some beauties!
My heart used to sink when I drew someone who wanted traditional costumes. Now I send them British "bobbies", policemen. :)
Great card. Thanks for sharing.
