Australia — The Australian Bush” — Australian National Travel Association
Vintage Travel Poster (c.1930)
Quietly heroic and rich with atmosphere, this evocative reproduction of The Australian Bush captures the romance of inland travel at its most timeless. Produced around 1930 for the Australian National Travel Association, the poster presents Australia not as spectacle, but as experience—slow journeys, open country, and the poetry of light moving through eucalypt forest.
Two riders pause on horseback beneath towering gums, framed by mountains and afternoon glow—a scene that invites reflection as much as exploration.
A continent revealed at walking—and riding—pace.
