Where am I? - In Australia

Following the example in Japan and the first five legs of our journey in Great Britain, Hungary, Egypt, India and Malaysia, now I moved on to Australia.
First postcard:
9 / 12
Second postcard:
It's name could have been James
Third postcard:
It could have been a quiet day
Fourth postcard:
= 38536
So, let's meet. It is not as difficult as it seems, but anyway you are too fast these days.
P.S. To make it more difficult for the enemy agents (and those don't have the solution) and to have a bit more fun, let's still use the absolute GPS positions instead of a descriptive solution.

It seems noone has the prompt answer. Maybe some partial resuls will help someone else to solve it. So, please do not hold back any idea.

Sorry I can't give coordinates, we can't have Google Earth on our computers but... The Twelve Apostles? It seems to fit with the first and second postcard. Not sure about the other two.

It seems you are home in countries with large deserts. Still for the peace of my mind, solve the remaining two cards too, please.

Seriously stuck. The only thing I can come up with for three is The Last Supper. Card four is not a phone number, zip code, coordinates, bible passage, length of the road, distance from anything...
On a side note, one of the nine columns collapsed on 3 July 05. So there are only eight now.

Well you know a lot, maybe even enough.
But when I am stuck with a mathematical riddle, I try to use a clever software, or at least MS Excel.

My guess it that the third card refers to
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one's there, does it make a sound?" So the collapse of an apostle could have been a quiet day; except there were tourists there who saw it, and I assume heard it.
And the fourth card
date to number conversion from Jan 0 1900 to July 3, 2005

No more to say.
But, stay alerted, I am on my way to Brasil and will send my cards soon.
