Postcards from Frankston

Postcards from Frankston

Postcards are often described as the "SMS messages" of the early 20th century, offering a quick, affordable way to send short greetings, share news, and boast of travels. Postcards captured snapshots of both the ordinary and the spectacular. Evoking memories of a golden age, they have historical value and are often the best recorded images of buildings, streetscapes, and neighbourhoods.

Featuring community contributions and a chorus of nostalgia in celebration the city's 60th birthday.
