If you're new to the Postcards site, and you're not familiar with our TV show that inspires it, here is how the stories in this section come about.
Each week, I research a 'theme' location for the episode, and so, the show comes 'from the field'. I'm out there somewhere!
Hosting the half-hour program, I pop up several times between our other stories from around South Australia, and add another 'chapter' of my saga of the week. I hope you'll agree with me as you browse through, some of our most fascinating tales right under our nose. In fact, I'm passionate about the need to lift the rocks, open the doors, and bring together the strands of what's all around us so we can really enjoy our own part of the world. On TV, we have the superb illustrations of Geoff Clayfield's lovingly crafted images which add their own insights. These web articles, then, are based on the TV version.
At Postcards we work on one rule only in picking our next storiesŠyou have to be able to go and experience it yourself, ie. its open to the public. I love the job of being your cultural guide to a great part of Australia, and I trust that clicking your way through our ever-growing list gives you the urge to discover and enjoy South Australia even more.
Looking forward to your feedback and ideas too.
Cheers,
Keith Conlon
