If nothing else it is a reminder that Elvis’ beloved grandmother, Minnie Mae aka Dodger, lived at Graceland until she passed away in 1980.

ITEM: Key Chain

NOTES: Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, on five cards – ten pictures in all. Half the pictures are of animals or the nearby surf and sin fun beach city of Surfers Paradise.
