A Tasmanian destination for your walls

Celebrate a favourite place or a journey still on your wish list with this reproduction of Harry Kelly’s 1930s Tasmania travel poster. Its connection with Mount Ida and Lake St Clair makes it a personal choice for a study, living room or gallery wall inspired by Australian travel. Choose it as a reminder of a memorable visit, or bring it into a collection exploring historic tourism advertising.

About the poster

Created for the Tasmanian Government Tourist Bureau, the poster carries the slogan “The Switzerland of the South”. That phrase connects Tasmania’s tourism identity with the appeal of alpine destinations, giving the advertisement a specific historical context beyond a general landscape print. For collectors, it provides a starting point for comparing the ways destinations were promoted to travellers during the 1930s.

Build a wall around places you love

Imagine displaying the print beside a shelf of travel guides, with warm wooden furniture and a soft woven throw completing the setting. It can introduce a personal connection with Tasmania into an everyday space without requiring the whole room to follow a travel theme. The recorded yellow, green and blue palette provides a starting point for coordinating companion prints or accessories in related tones.

A smaller format can join an established gallery arrangement, while a larger print can give the destination a more prominent place. Pairing posters from Australia and New Zealand creates a regional connection; adding Canadian or Swiss destinations broadens the display around mountain travel. Measure the available wall space and consider nearby furniture before selecting your preferred size.

Pair it with

Continue the mountain-travel theme with the Queenstown, New Zealand poster (1930s) and the Canadian Pacific Lake Louise poster. For a Swiss companion to Tasmania’s “Switzerland of the South” slogan, add Emil Cardinaux’s Zermatt poster (1908) to your vintage travel gallery wall.
