“The Blue Mountains of New South Wales” — See for Yourself…
Vintage Travel Poster (c.1940)
Calm, confident, and unmistakably Australian, this beautiful reproduction of the Blue Mountains travel poster captures the gentle optimism of mid-century travel. Created around 1940, it invites visitors to slow down and see for themselves—to breathe eucalyptus air, wander escarpments, and discover a landscape shaped as much by light and colour as by scale.
A single waratah stands proudly against layered blue ranges, turning the mountains into a symbol of quiet grandeur and botanical wonder.
An invitation to pause, look outward—and look again.

🌍 A Poster That Tells a Story
Produced during a period when domestic tourism was deeply valued, this poster reflects a shift away from spectacle toward contemplation. The Blue Mountains are not shown as dramatic conquest, but as a place of stillness, air, and perspective—close enough to reach, vast enough to inspire.
It promised travellers not thrill, but renewal.
🖼️ Display with Pride
Whether framed, laminated for durability, or presented on canvas with elegant timber hang rails, this poster brings serenity, colour, and classic Australian design into any space.
Quiet. Spacious. Timeless.
