This attractive card with views from around northern Tasmania (including Drum Stick Island)
was postally used in December 1903.

The Examiner appears to be a very early producer of Tasmanian postcards ..... or were
they just the printer?

Is this card from a series? If you have anything similar please post an image in this topic.

P.S. where exactly is Drum Stick Island?

Hello,

Drumstick Island is approx. 1500m. downstream from the Batman Bridge. It can be seen about 100m. from the Rowella Road. It is very small - more or less a pin prick in the Tamar River.

Jeff.

I have just received this card published by The Examiner used on March 5th 1900 which must make it one of the earliest Tasmanian published/printed cards ....

Does anyone have any other examples of cards by The Examiner which may be from the same early series ..... an earlier date of use would be nice to see too!

Footnote: whoops ... I forgot that Mike posted an image of the same card used in 8/1899

....... the request for images of other cards from a possible series by The Examiner still stands though.
