1910 PPC of Bundaberg to Tasmania with fine strike of the by now very worn 'LOOSE/SHIP/LETTER'-in-oval h/s (Hosking #1308, which we believe is simply a worn state of #5802, with large circular 'O's and large stops) and South Australian 1d pink tied by Brisbane cds of 19AU10, bumped corners. [The message indicates the sender was a missionary at Alligator River, about 180km E of Darwin, in a remote area of Arnhem Land that has never had a post office. The card would have been placed aboard a coastal ship that was probably making a monthly delivery of supplies]
