Shark Bay | Australia

Postcard

Shark Bay covers an area of more than 2.2 million hectares, larger than some European nations, but has a permanent population of just under 1,000 people.

The Zuytdorp Cliffs extend for about 150 km along a rugged, spectacular and little visited segment of the Shark Bay coast. The cliffs are named after a trading ship of the Dutch East India Company, the Zuytdorp, that was wrecked against the cliffs in 1712.

Stamp

Postage prepaid on the back, but actually it is a maxi-card with matching stamp on the front. Including a first day of issue postmark.
