⛷️ Kosciusko — Vintage Travel Poster (c.1950)

This striking mid-century travel poster celebrates the alpine allure of Kosciuszko, capturing Australia’s high country at the height of its golden age of tourism. Produced around 1950, the artwork presents a romantic winter scene of skiers resting beneath snow gums, with sweeping mountain ridges glowing in crisp alpine light.
