Two Central West women, Maureen Clark and June Reedy, have sent the very same card back and forth to each other for six decades.
Ms Clark, who resides in Bathurst, sent the card to her friend when she was just 17 years old in 1957.
“Her dad was Scottish, so this little card has a Scotsman on it and I thought I’d send it to June,” she said.
The following year, Ms Clark received the card with a new message added to it and the tradition has continued ever since.
Around the end of each year, the women add their news messages to the inside of the card with leaflets of paper.
“For 60 years old, it is in very good condition,” Ms Clark said.
They have never missed a year and intend to keep it going in the future.
“It might not seem much to some people, but I sent the card all those years ago and we’ve kept it going. It’s nice,” Ms Clark said.
