A historian says postcards sent from his town more than a century ago are among the treasures he has managed to track down in his history club's push to establish a museum.
The company published directories which could be delivered via postcard request.Mr Schulz said he was surprised to learn the 1891 card he purchased had found its way to Canada.He suspected the postcard ended up in the hands of a stamp or postcard collector.
"We do have a little centre, the Southern Flinders Discovery Centre, which I guess doubles as an historical display for the town but also an information centre," Mr Schulz said.Mr Schulz said many members of the community had been donating artefacts to the group. He said he had been gathering trinkets for a new wave of collectors to discover in another 100 years.
