Description
Screen print in format of a mock travel poster in blue and black ink. In the upper right corner is a silhouette of an Australian soldier in a bush hat carrying his pack and rifle. The southern cross is visible in white in the upper left. The unexpected image of a soldier contradicts the poster text. The subject matter and image point to this poster being an unofficial poster produced within the Australian Army.
