Bit weird if so. You’d think the show should be on year-round to gain traction with viewers. Postcards runs in repeat-mode over Summer from memory. ---

They won’t be able to air it over the AFL season next year, as they will have AFL most, if not, every Sunday during the season. I would imagine now would be the best time to air it, since there is not much sport on, and people would be starting to plan summer trips, outings, etc. ---
