This would allow a level of subversion within the very context that is being discussed, i.e., "a relaxed W.A. lifestyle". It would be great to think about other potential 'tourist' sites where the postcards could sit alongside existing ones. This way we are targeting a particular unsuspecting audience...

Would work well in the context of locative news, and those pamphlets seem to give a snapshot of the particular area. Also the postcards then work on a more traditional holiday scenario.

Could be a good spot. Most of them are pretty formal and generic and quite text heavy so they would probably stand-out like a sore thumb. Could work for both coming and going from the city and make a few tourists feel uneasy or privileged depending how they read them.

I'm glad that this topic is being integrated into the general public. I don't think the majority of Perth is aware of how critical gas supply is for WA, or how many people suffered. I think they would look great as posters. The illustrations look great! I’m glad that this topic is being integrated into the general public.

To add to the conversation, maybe somewhere relevant in a waiting room like Doctors, Chemists? Just my two cents. Nice work man.

I love this stuff though.. how the book is for one subject. such a rad idea and having them as tear-away's is good too.. might have to send one to Jim's dad who works for Western Power and has been working overtime because of the blast. hahah Re: Alex, great idea.. the places of pain thing is gold.

Postcards in places of pain. Meetings. Dinner parties. Dentists' offices, mall atriums, school assemblies. Damn, they look good!

Would even be cool to see them pop up in schools, uni book stores, high school admin offices, even just as reading material for people that pop in. Sure beats reading womans day....
