How to post this picture card?
Summary:
Recently went on a road trip to Adelaide, bought one of these picture postcards to send to someone.
Question:
This is the first time I'm sending one of these so sorry if it's a stupid question, but how do you send this? Do i need an envelope or can i stick a stamp somewhere (cant find where) . And where can I write a message?

You don't need an envelope - these cards are intended to be sent as is.
On the reverse of the card there is a blank area to the left: your message goes here.
The address goes in the lined area to the right.
The stamp goes in the top right corner above the address. Some cards have a rectangle printed there to indicate the right place. Your card has a barcode printed there: just stick your stamp(s) over it.

Also one should include the country with the address if sending international. Of course this particular question is someone on a "road trip" in Australia which likely does not include crossing any borders, but future readers in other locales may wish to keep this in mind. Additionally postage for stamps may be less than standard postage, something to keep in mind when buying stamps.
