TRAVEL POSTER - Kosciusko

⛷️ Kosciusko — Vintage Travel Poster (c.1950)

This striking mid-century travel poster celebrates the alpine allure of Kosciuszko, capturing Australia’s high country at the height of its golden age of tourism. Produced around 1950, the artwork presents a romantic winter scene of skiers resting beneath snow gums, with sweeping mountain ridges glowing in crisp alpine light.

Bold colours, confident figures, and a sense of healthy outdoor adventure combine to promote Kosciusko as a destination of grandeur, vitality, and national pride. It’s a quintessential example of Australian government travel art—optimistic, aspirational, and unmistakably nostalgic.
