TRAVEL POSTER - Barossa Valley

🍇 Barossa Valley, South Australia — Vintage Travel Poster (c.1950)
Let “The Overland” Take You in Luxury

Warm, welcoming, and unmistakably mid-century, this delightful travel poster invites you to journey into the Barossa Valley at the height of Australia’s golden age of rail travel.
