Not a reproduction, this is a genuine 1950's scenic pack of the Forster area
Years ago my parents travelled (camped) around a fair bit and today I found some of their old "tourist" scenic postcard packs
Amazing old colourised photographs of notable points of interest in the Forster area.
Note the old cars including a Morris Minor 1000 and none of the roads are sealed - just dirt.
This is NOT a reproduction of an original postcard pack but the real deal, around 60 years old!

CONDITION:
Clean but with a couple of stains due to handling over the years, the most noticeable is a brown stain on the outside front (Bennetts Headland photograph)
All seams/folds are sound with no splitting
Outside front has 2 shillings (2/-) printed in pencil where a stamp would normally be attached, otherwise there is no writing on the postcard pack at all.
All photographs are clean although the colouring is a bit odd looking, predominantly blue/green/brown and shades of. Not sure if this was due to the photography of the day or limitations in printing technology.
Today I have sealed this postcard pack in plastic to preserve the current condition and now it has been put away in a dark place to reduce any light fade.
