The Pink Poodle, Surfers Paradise, Qld, Australia - Philatelic Photographs on Waymarking.com

From the Australia Post website: (visit link)
"Pink Poodle, Surfers Paradise, Queensland, was a popular honeymoon motel built in 1967. The motel was demolished in 2004 but the famous sign (which was rebuilt in 1987) was saved, and in 2005 was nominated as a Queensland Heritage Icon by the National Trust. The illuminated Pink Poodle neon sign now stands in Fern Street near its original location."

"Australia Post Philatelic Manager, Michael Zsolt said: 'Today we are more conscious of the visual value of our historic neon signs. Australia Post's Signs of the Times stamp issue features images of three iconic neon-signs that have been preserved for the enjoyment of future generations. We hope this bright nostalgic themed stamp issue will resonate with the public and collectors alike.'"

It was designed by John White of the Australia Post Design Studio.

[This stamp - Pink Poodle, and the Skipping Girl, from Abbotsford in Victoria are 70 cent stamps; while the Dandy Pig, of Dandenong, Victoria is a $1.40 stamp.]
