Summary

This hand-coloured postcard was used as a Christmas card. It shows Melbourne General Post Office, looking east up Bourke Street to Parliament House. Across the upper right corner of the raised white decorative border is a gold-coloured Christmas message: A Merry Christmas. It was given in response to LM Cr W. McCaughey's radio broadcast.
