(Dear Postcrossers, please do not ask me to do direct swaps).

The bird in my profile picture is a Lord Howe Island Woodhen. They are cute little flightless birds, which used to be the most endangered species of bird in the world. Now there are about 800 of them. They only live on Australia's Lord Howe Island.

Hi everybody! My name is Robyn. I am 51. I have a wonderful husband named Graeme, and we live in a small town in rural Australia. We work together as pastors of a Christian church. However, I am not much interested in pictures of Church buildings.

We have a charming cat called Missy.

I am fascinated with the world, and we love to travel whenever we get the opportunity. I love the excitement of receiving postcards from around the world, and learning about where you come from.

I am a stamp collector, although I never remove stamps from the postcards I receive.

I like postcards without envelopes; I am not interested in folded greeting cards. And please write a message on your card.

Here are some hints if you are not sure what postcard to send me:

I think my 2023 theme will be wild animals.

My 2022 theme is birds. If you send me a bird postcard, I would love for you to tell me some information about the bird.

I love the ocean and all its creatures 🐬
Cats 🐈
Chickens 🐓 (known as chooks in rural Australia)
Sheep and goats.
Other animals (but I don't really like foxes and rabbits as these animals are introduced pests in Australia)
Lawn bowls!
Nature and beautiful scenery
Tourist cards

I am happy to receive Christmas postcards at Christmas, and Easter postcards at Easter (not folded greeting cards).

United Kingdom Postcrossers - I love your postcards that look like giant stamps. Any of these would be greatly appreciated.

I would prefer not to receive advertising/freebie or homemade postcards. I am also not so keen on meetup postcards - sorry!
PLEASE NO harry potter, halloween. I don't like them.

My mother is also a Postcrosser. Every two weeks we get together and look at each other's received postcards.

I sometimes get requests to register postcards before I have received them, but I only register them once I have got them. Then I do it at my first opportunity.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,
Robyn
