Australia Postcard Reviews
Jays Brick Blog
“LEGO’s buildable postcard series takes a visit Down Under, joining London, Beijing, Paris and New York, but instead of highlighting skyscrapers and other important manmade landmarks, the LEGO Australia Postcard pays homage to the Australian outback, and our rich natural... More heritage.”
“There’s a lot going on here, and I love how they captured the blue sky and clouds, along with a cheeky Qantas plane in the top corner. There’s a tin windmill, outback station with tin roof, a dunny (outhouse), as well as a gumtree with a cockatoo perched in it.”
Brick Fanatics
“That means iconic visuals like a eucalyptus tree, cockatoo, kangaroo road sign and, erm, a shed, built in three dimensions with a blue-sky backdrop. As per the other postcards, it’s fronted with a stickered tile bearing the name of the location, which here focuses on an... More entire country rather than a single city. We’re not sure what that says about the LEGO Group’s perception of Australia.”
