Postcards is an Australian holiday and travel television franchise.
There have been a number of versions of Postcards on the Nine Network. At one point, there were three, each serving a particular state. In 1995, Channel Nine Adelaide produced their first series. [1] It promoted holiday spots within South Australia, encouraging viewers to travel within their state. Soon after, Channel Nine Melbourne launched their own state-based version (Postcards Victoria) and Channel Nine Perth followed in 1999 with Postcards WA.
In 2007, WIN Television purchased the Nine stations in Adelaide and Perth. [2] [3] The Perth-based Postcards WA was then renamed Postcards Australia and expanded to cover more parts of the country, using reporters positioned across the WIN network, and in 2011 they axed the original Adelaide-based Postcards SA.

In March 2016, Postcards moved to a new Friday night timeslot and one hour format for the Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne markets. Rebecca Judd hosted the show alongside presenters Livinia Nixon, Lauren Phillips, Brodie Harper, Shane Crawford, Glen Moriarty, Scherri-Lee Biggs, Warren Tredrea and celebrity chef Shane Delia. [5]
Later, the national program was discontinued, and a Victoria-focused Postcards returned. As of 2025, it is still being made.
Postcards South Australia was produced by Nine Network in Adelaide and was shown every Sunday at 5:30 pm from 1995 to 2011 hosted by Keith Conlon. Other reporters included Lisa McAskill, Ali Carle, Michael Keelan, Chad Cornes, Mark Bickley and Kym Dillon. The series aired its final episode on 20 November 2011. [4] [6]
