075 Genevieve D, Alice Springs, Australia


Gen is my wife. I'd like to say I'm writing to her because after two days I miss her desperately. In fact, she just forgot to take a bikini to the desert. It's hot out there apparently. No, I do miss you, come back soon!

Chris is Canadian, but we met worked together in Doha, where this attractive postcard was bought. She works in Belgium now, enroute to Macau. Tough.

071 Alex W and Eden F, Newtown, Australia


Alex was a few years below me at school; she loved school so much she moved into a house with her man Eden as close to C Block as she could.

I love the photograph on this card - it's so epic but so simple and old fashioned.

070 Geoff and Alyssa D, Winston Hills, Australia


Geffrodo was at Design Team when I was there and still is, always swanning off to exotic destinations to bump in exhibitions stands. His wife Alyssa had a baby boy Hayden shortly before our weeding. We don't see eachother enough!

068 Mike D, Redfern, Australia


Mike is Gen's brother. Here I thank him for introducing me (and by extension every other person since) the marvels of the comic genious Russell Brand.

The postcard is of the hole where the World Trade Centre stood 7 years ago today.

067 Kinga S, Stockholm, Sweden


Kinga was an exchange student here in 1998 (I think), shortly before I would have bought this postcard at Musee D'Orsay in Paris with Hol and Gen. She should joing Zander's Tessa Street Massive Facebook group for contribution to come memorable nights at Chatswood.

066 William B, Enmore, Australia


It was Will's birthday last week, so I gave him this hat.

I have know Will since about the second week of year seven. He's a devilish brat and I don't much care for his manner. Jokes! Happy birthday old fella.

065 Chris W, London, UK


Chris is one of the girls from Gen's school. He is a stage manager by training but stubbornly refuses to live up to his potential and instead insists on being a lawyer.

I chose this postcard because it kind of looks like Sideways Custard on the ultrasound.

064 Amelia B, North Fitzroy, Australia


Amelia was at WAAPA when Gen was there, but I felt especially bonded when I learnt she knew my cousin Jack from school. Interestingly, she was also on exchange in a Dutch speaking city (Antwerp) when news came through about Jack. Gek!

063 Martijn V, Delft, Netherlands


Martijn was one of my 6 fantastic flatmates when I lived in The Netherlands in 1998. I chose this card for him because it reminds me of how he rolled in those days! It's been so long now that I I have no idea if sitting on the computer continues.

062 Fitri W, Dubai, UAE


Fitri was a couple of years above me at roll call in school. It is ramadan at the moment and I thought she might appreciate this hilarious card I picked up in Qatar, one of my all-time favourites...

061 Andrew and Ellie, Bondi Beach, Australia


I went to uni with Andrew and Ellie is his girlfriend.

This postcards is all about hair, something which has been concerning me lately. Or, my slow losing of it. Help!

060 Anna W, Fremantle, Australia


Ann/Undies/Scooter went to school with Gen. I thought she would appreciate the wildly inappropriate approaches of a Moroccon water seller.

058 Gordon B, Paisley, Scotland


Gordo is a character from an Irvine Welsh book, but also another friend I made through the medium of semi-legal music internets downloading. Ya radge!

He also spent some time in Qatar so I hope he enjoys the gallows humour of this postcard - what a joyous life you can see these young women growing up to have...

059 Fleur L, Phnom Penh, Cambodia


Fleur has recently arrived in Cambodia to work for an NGO for a year. Fleur is one of the 490 girls in Celia's year at North Sydney Girls High School. Bless you all.

057 Corrado C, Milan, Italy


Corrado is my Italian host brother and some kind of tourism Milanese marketing mogul.
