Dear Collectors,<br />
This last <strong>Stamp</strong> <strong>Bulletin</strong> for 2005 begins with an<br />
<strong>Australia</strong>n Territories issue, Aviation in the AAT, and<br />
the second in the Treasures of the Archives series<br />
featuring a Centennial 20 shilling stamp issued in 1888.<br />
The new Marking the Occasion stamps are a 45c card<br />
rate Christmas stamp and a special 50c stamp design<br />
depicting <strong>Australia</strong>.<br />
In October we celebrate <strong>Stamp</strong> Collecting Month<br />
and a special children’s issue – Down on the Farm. Our<br />
Christmas 2005 stamp issue continues to tell the traditional<br />
Christmas story of the birth of the Christ Child. And don’t<br />
forget to add the 2005 Collection of <strong>Australia</strong>n <strong>Stamp</strong>s to<br />
your Christmas gift list this year. The Collection includes<br />
the <strong>Australia</strong>n Parrots sheetlet.<br />
This September edition marks my fi nal <strong>Bulletin</strong> as<br />
Manager of the Philatelic Group. I have been asked to take<br />
up the position of Group Manager for the larger portfolio<br />
of Retail Services for <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong>. I am moving into my<br />
new role as this edition goes to print.<br />
The wonderful experience and knowledge gained from<br />
a very special Philatelic Group will carry me forward and<br />
I will greatly miss this unique team of people. The special<br />
collectors I have come to know as friends, together with<br />
the key support from industry partners, the <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />
Philatelic Federation and the <strong>Australia</strong>n Philatelic Traders<br />
Association will also be missed.<br />
I would like to take the opportunity to thank all our<br />
readers for your letters of support and interest in Philatelic,<br />
and to introduce Mr Noel Leahy who has taken up the<br />
position of Manager for the Philatelic Group. I wish Noel,<br />
and you all, the very best for the future.<br />
A reminder to all our readers that as of January 2006 the<br />
<strong>Bulletin</strong> will be distributed to you quarterly. You can look<br />
forward to a full three months’ worth of stamp issue news<br />
in each edition.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Amber McDougall, Manager, Philatelic Group
AVIATION IN THE AAT<br />
<strong>Stamp</strong>s shown 82% actual size<br />
Aircraft have been used in the <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />
Antarctic Territory since the early days of<br />
powered flight. When Mawson included an<br />
aircraft in his expedition of 1911-14, it was<br />
only eight years after the Wright brothers’<br />
invention.<br />
Since the establishment of the <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />
Antarctic Division in 1948, aircraft have<br />
played an important role in reconnaissance<br />
and photography, support for ground and<br />
ice parties, and scientifi c measurements. The<br />
fi rst hanger built in the AAT was constructed<br />
at Mawson in 1956.<br />

There were eight stamps issued in 1888-89<br />
to commemorate the New South Wales<br />
Centennial. The stamps were the world’s first<br />
stated commemorative stamps. Each stamp<br />
is inscribed “100 years”. Unlike modern<br />
commemorative issues, they were not shortterm<br />
stamps, and remained on long-term<br />
sale. The 20 shilling stamp was current from<br />
1888 until 1913, when it was replaced by the<br />
Commonwealth’s Kangaroo and Map stamp.<br />
Five of the Centennial stamp designs were<br />
the result of a public competition organised<br />
by the NSW government, led by Premier Sir<br />
Henry Parkes. The winning design for the<br />
20 shilling stamp was by Mrs F W Stoddard.<br />
The stamp design features portraits of NSW<br />
Governors Arthur Phillip (1788) and Lord<br />
Carrington (1888).<br />
This might have been a world precedent,<br />
and was the fi rst <strong>Australia</strong>n stamp to depict<br />
a living person other than Queen Victoria.<br />
The fl owers which surround the portraits<br />
are Christmas Bells, and were chosen as<br />
“appropriately suggestive of ringing in the<br />
glad Centennial time”.<br />
THE STAMP<br />
On the jumbo stamp, the 20 shilling<br />
Centennial stamp is depicted in multiple<br />
format to represent the full sheet of 50 held in<br />
the National Philatelic Collection. The sheet<br />
is believed to be unique. The “specimen”<br />
overprint was applied to archival sheets to<br />
prevent possible misuse of the stamps for<br />
postage.<br />

<strong>Stamp</strong> shown 55% actual size<br />

of Ethos, Melbourne who also designed the<br />
first in the Treasures from the Archives series<br />
and the Royal Tour Jubilee (2004) stamp.<br />

<strong>Stamp</strong> Collecting Month was established<br />
in 1993 and its purpose is to introduce<br />
children to the world of philately and stamp<br />
collecting. Recent themes have included<br />
Cats and Dogs, Bugs and Butterflies and The<br />
Magic Rainforest. The theme for <strong>Stamp</strong><br />
Collecting Month 2005, Down on the Farm,<br />
takes a whimsical and humorous look at the<br />
farmyard animals living on Gumnut Farm.<br />
The theme chosen is one that is always<br />
popular with children.<br />
THE STAMPS<br />
50C Chloe the Chicken<br />
Chloe is very confused. She thought she<br />
had six children but can only find five!<br />
Yesterday all she had was a clutch of eggs<br />
–but they keep hatching and it’s so difficult<br />
to keep track of them all.<br />

Sheetlets of fi ve x 50c<br />
and fi ve x $1.00 stamps<br />
Miniature sheet shown 22% of actual size<br />
50c Lucy the Lamb<br />
Lucy doesn’t know what to make of the<br />
colourful flapping creatures that keep<br />
landing on her nose. She’d quite like to<br />
make friends with them, but they won’t sit<br />
still long enough for a conversation.<br />
50c Gilbert the Goat<br />
Gilbert is feeling a little ill. With his sister<br />
Gertie’s help he’s managed to jump onto<br />
the fence of the vegetable garden and he’s<br />
been helping himself to whatever he can<br />
find–and now he thinks he may have bitten<br />
off more than he can chew!<br />
50c Ralph the Pig<br />
The piglets are the naughtiest animals on<br />
the farm – and Ralph is the naughtiest<br />
piglet of all. He can’t help getting into<br />
trouble and persuades his brother Rupert<br />
to make a big pool of mud. What fun!<br />
50c Abigail the Cow<br />
Abigail is happiest in the meadow munching<br />
on fresh dandelions and rich green grass. She<br />
knows that this diet will help her produce the<br />
creamiest milk. Perched on Abigail’s back,<br />
Willy Wagtail chatters away. Abigail secretly<br />
finds him a bit irritating, but is too polite to<br />
say, even when he invites one of his cousins<br />
to perch on her head!
$1.00 Harry the Horse<br />
Harry the Horse likes nothing better than<br />
to gallop at full speed across the paddocks<br />
with his best friends, the Blue Heeler pups.<br />
Harry especially loves to race – mainly<br />
because he always wins.<br />
ILLUSTRATION and DESIGN<br />
The illustrator, Jamie Tufrey, grew up on<br />
the family sheep and cattle property in the<br />
mountain ranges of northern New South<br />
Wales.<br />
Tufrey is based in Sydney and Down on<br />
the Farm is his fi rst <strong>Australia</strong>n stamp issue.<br />
Each stamp has one or more small creatures<br />
hidden in the illustration for children to<br />
find. These include worms, a frog, snail,<br />
turtle, grasshopper, dragonfly, spider,<br />
snake, ladybird, rabbit and caterpillars.<br />
After initial pencil sketches, a computer<br />
together with graphic design software were<br />
used to create the final look of the stamps.<br />
The soft, fluffy feathers of the hen are<br />
composed of 200 individual feathers and<br />
special software was created to achieve this.<br />

Christmas 2005<br />
Christmas stamps have been issued in<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> every year since 1957. The practice<br />
in the last few years has been to represent the<br />
traditional Christmas story, and this year is<br />
no exception. The two stamps for 2005 show<br />
the Madonna and Child (45c concession card<br />
rate) and a beautifully detailed Adoring Angel<br />
($1 International <strong>Post</strong>).<br />
The artist, Ursula Betka, paints using the<br />
age-old techniques of icon painting. The<br />
exquisite images are painted on a wood<br />
panel that is fi rst prepared with a white gesso<br />
(meaning chalk) ground. The background is<br />
real 23-carat gold leaf, originally designed<br />
to catch the fl ickering light of church candles.<br />
The paints used are tempera, or pigment<br />
mixed with egg yolk, also in the tradition of<br />
medieval art.<br />
The original holy icons have been specially<br />
blessed in the tradition of the Church. Like<br />
these precious icons each stamp glitters like a<br />
rare jewel. These beautiful stamps celebrate<br />
Christmas with serene joy and peace.<br />
THE STAMPS<br />
45c Madonna and Child<br />
This image is derived from the ancient icon<br />
tradition of the Virgin and Christ Child,<br />
where mother and baby touch tenderly at<br />
the cheek. This intimate gesture expresses<br />
universal loving kindness and compassion.<br />
Mary’s beauty reflects both her spiritual<br />
12<br />
qualities and the great love she holds for her<br />
son. Jesus displays to his mother a little bird<br />
– a goldfinch, which is a traditional medieval<br />
symbol of Christ. The star on Mary’s robe is<br />
symbolic of the star that led the three wise<br />
men to the crib in Bethlehem.<br />
$1.00 Adoring Angel<br />
This stamp depicts an angel in a gesture of<br />
sacred adoration. An angel brought news<br />
of the Holy birth to shepherds outside<br />
Bethlehem and angels traditionally appear<br />
adoring the Virgin and Child in scenes of<br />
the Nativity.<br />
Ethereal creatures, they are neither male<br />
nor female. The word “angel” comes from the<br />
Greek word “angelos” (messenger) and they<br />
are largely seen as messengers from God or<br />
manifestations of the Holy Spirit.<br />
ILLUSTRATOR<br />
Ursula Betka is an artist specialising in<br />
icon painting with a PhD in medieval art<br />
history. Betka teaches Art History at the<br />
University of Melbourne and the National<br />
Gallery of Victoria. Betka also teaches icon<br />
painting at The Council of Adult Education<br />
in Melbourne.<br />

Christmas Island is a remote <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />
Territory located in the Indian Ocean some<br />
2,600 kilometres north-west of Perth and<br />
360 kilometres south of Jakarta.<br />
Christmas Island was fi rst settled in the<br />
late nineteenth century in order to develop<br />
the phosphate industry. The population of<br />
Christmas Island today is over 1,500 and<br />
includes Chinese, Malay and European<br />
communities.<br />
Christmas Island Christmas stamps are<br />
issued every alternate year. While <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />
Christmas stamps are based on traditional<br />
religious themes, recent Christmas Island<br />
Christmas stamps have included Santa Claus<br />
in a variety of island settings. Christmas<br />
Island stamps are valid for use within<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> and can be used as an alternative<br />
Christmas stamp.<br />

PACIFIC EXPLORER 2005 <strong>Stamp</strong> Expo Update<br />
PACIFIC EXPLORER HIGHLIGHTS<br />
Pacific Explorer <strong>Stamp</strong> Expo took place in<br />
April at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition<br />
Centre. It was enjoyed by the keen collector and<br />
interested observer, with news of the events and<br />
activities spreading far and wide. Take a look at<br />
some of the highlights from the event – often<br />
called the <strong>Stamp</strong> Olympics!<br />
Day One<br />
The centre stage area at the Exhibition Centre<br />
was abuzz from the minute the expo opened.<br />
Day One and the official opening was attended<br />
by hundreds of well-wishers. Her Excellency<br />
Marie Bashir, Governor of NSW, officially<br />
opening the Expo with Mr Graeme John,<br />
Managing Director of <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong>, Mr Koh<br />
Seow Chuan, President of the Fédération<br />
Internationale de Philatélie and other VIP<br />
guests in attendence.<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> put its best foot forward when it<br />
came to welcoming so many representatives<br />
from around the world. A moving didgeridoo<br />
performance and a “Welcome to Country’<br />
was given by a local Aboriginal elder, mixed<br />
with the stirring voices of an a cappella group,<br />
symbolising the energies and efforts of philately<br />
in <strong>Australia</strong>. Day One also saw the launch of<br />
the fi rst of four stamp issues for the Expo – the<br />
World Heritage Joint <strong>Stamp</strong> Issue with the UK.<br />
Present to unveil the new images were<br />
the Right Honourable Sir Alastair Goodlad,<br />
former British High Commissioner; the<br />
Honourable Bob Debus, NSW Minister for the<br />
Environment; Julietta Edgar, UK Royal Mail<br />
and Amber McDougall, <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong>.<br />
Next were the Olympians – Kerri Pottharst<br />
and Giaan Rooney – who signed products<br />
and showed their medals to an avid audience.<br />
The day closed with the announcement by<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong> that Personalised <strong>Stamp</strong>s<br />
would now be available on-line. The popular<br />
TV and radio scientist, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki,<br />
outlined the process to an entertained audience.<br />
Day Two<br />
This was a day for children! <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong>’s<br />
second stamp issue was first up, with the<br />
Creatures of the Slime stamps capturing<br />
the imagination of dozens of local school<br />
children who were specially dressed for<br />
the occasion. Drs Pat Vickers-Rich and Jim<br />
Gehling gave everyone an insight into the<br />
fascinating world of these ancient creatures.<br />
Saturday Disney host Daniel Widdowson<br />
gave the event a dash of pizzazz, and staff from<br />
the Sydney Aquarium gave children a glance at<br />
a modern-day “creature of the slime”. Another<br />
dose of Olympians – Susie O’Neill, Alice Mills<br />
and Chris Fydler – saw queues of people lining<br />
up to secure their signatures.<br />
Day Three<br />
Reserved for <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong>’s most popular<br />
stamp release over the four days – the launch<br />
of the Centenary of Rotary International was<br />
marked by key Rotarians, including Glen<br />
Kinross, past Rotary International president.<br />
Day Three also saw the announcement<br />
of the winners of the ACMI <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />
First Moving Image School Competition. More<br />
than 10 schools in NSW had representatives<br />
watching the results of their efforts, together<br />
with mums and dads from around the State.<br />
Day Four<br />
The fourth and final day was reserved for award<br />
presentations, and the launch of the stamp<br />
issue commemorating the 150th Anniversary<br />
of the First <strong>Australia</strong>n Coin. Dr.Vivienne Thom,<br />
Head of the Royal <strong>Australia</strong>n Mint, and Robert<br />
Griffin, Curator of the Sydney Mint, took an<br />
historical approach to their presentation and<br />
gave unique insights into this stamp issue.<br />

PACIFIC EXPLORER 2005<br />
DEALERS, TRADERS and EXHIBITORS<br />
Over 150 volunteers worked tirelessly in<br />
the installation of the exhibits receiving<br />
congratulations from the exhibitors for<br />
their efforts. The highlight of the Court of<br />
Honour, was The Tapling Collection which<br />
was presented by David Beech of the<br />
British Library. Mr Beech was especially<br />
pleased with the presentation of the exhibit,<br />
particularly after the lengthy administrative<br />
work involved in bringing this renowned<br />
collection to <strong>Australia</strong>.<br />
This substantial exhibit of 170 pages,<br />
focused on the <strong>Australia</strong>n Colonies and the<br />
Countries of the Pacifi c. It included many<br />
philatelic icons such as the original essays of<br />
the 1d and 3d “Sydney Views”, the Western<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> 1854 inverted frame, the Hawaii<br />
1851 2c “Missionary” and the Mauritius 1847<br />
“<strong>Post</strong> Offi ce” 1d on cover and 2d unused.<br />
Competitive exhibits were of a very high<br />
standard with the <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong> Grand Prix<br />
being won by George J Kramer (USA) for his<br />
exhibit of US Domestic Mail 1776 to 1869.<br />
The exhibit achieved a score of 98 points and<br />
included letters to Martha Washington and<br />
Benjamin Franklin. Also featured was a FDC<br />
to John Hancock dated 4 July 1776!<br />
Many of the dealers and traders who<br />
attended were complimentary of the<br />
organisation and the exhibition overall.<br />
One dealer of note achieved the highest<br />
16<br />
single sale, over $500,000, which is believed<br />
to be a record single sale in <strong>Australia</strong>.<br />
A survey of visitors to Pacifi c Explorer<br />
World <strong>Stamp</strong> Expo 2005 gave their stamp<br />
of approval to the event with 92% of those<br />
surveyed rating the overall exhibition as<br />
either “very good” or “good”.<br />
YOUTH AREA<br />
What a success! The Youth Area at Pacific<br />
Explorer welcomed over 1,250 children who<br />
participated in the fun and activities available.<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong> staff and volunteers from<br />
the APF were on hand to keep the children<br />
active and excited about stamp collecting<br />
and children’s stamp issues. Children were<br />
encouraged to make their way through a<br />
maze of rooms – each room featuring a<br />
different activity.<br />
Things to do included making your own<br />
dinosaur footprints, badgemaking, letter<br />
writing and creating envelopes. Once<br />
children had completed each of the room<br />
activities, and a completion stamp was placed<br />
in their book, they were then taken on a<br />
guided tour around the exhibition.<br />
The comments from visitors were<br />
that they had been both entertained and<br />
informed. Interest in collecting stamps has<br />
certainly increased for these children!
<strong>Stamp</strong> Expo Update<br />
SNAPSHOT! and PERSONALISED STAMPS<br />
One of the innovations featured at Pacific<br />
Explorer was the first personalised booklet<br />
–Snapshot! Souvenir Booklet. There was a<br />
steady stream of buyers eager to have their<br />
photograph placed into this lasting Pacific<br />
Explorer memento. The feedback from<br />
those who purchased the product was very<br />
positive – from as young as a two-year-old<br />
through to Royal Mail agent, Max Stern.<br />
This is another first for <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong> and<br />
will be a product to look out for in the<br />
future. Generic versions of the Snapshot!<br />
Souvenir Booklet are available from mail<br />
order.<br />
The Personalised <strong>Stamp</strong>s service was<br />
also kept busy with Expo visitors taking<br />
the opportunity to select a sheet of stamps<br />
and having their image placed in the tabs.<br />
Marking the Occasion, the recently released<br />
stamp issue designed for use with this service,<br />
offered buyers a wide and varied selection of<br />
designs. The launch of the service on-line was<br />
a highlight on the fi rst day of Pacifi c Explorer.<br />
Western <strong>Australia</strong> inverted frame from the Tapling Collection<br />
POSTSHOP AT PACIFIC EXPLORER<br />
The <strong>Post</strong><strong>Shop</strong> was a busy place to be at Pacific<br />
Explorer with displays of all current stamp<br />
releases housed in individual bays.<br />
As well as the full displays of all products<br />
for each of the new issues, there were also a<br />
number of products exclusive to the Pacifi c<br />
Explorer <strong>Post</strong>shop. The new <strong>Stamp</strong> and Pin<br />
product, one design for each of the four<br />
new stamp issues released at the show, was a<br />
sought after item by many collectors with a<br />
limited number still available by mail order.<br />
There were exhibition covers, postcards<br />
and the very popular Centenary of Rotary<br />
International imperforate sheetlet. <strong>Australia</strong><br />
<strong>Post</strong> also made available other products at the<br />
show prior to their release nationally.<br />
The exhibition had 31 different pictorial<br />
postmarks with a separate <strong>Post</strong>shop counter<br />
available to allow postmark collectors to take<br />
their time, view the postmark designs and<br />
talk to our postmarking specialists.<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong> staff were selected from all<br />
over NSW with their selection based on their<br />
knowledge of philately and customer service<br />
skills. Staff from the <strong>Post</strong>shop received<br />
warm compliments from visitors for their<br />
welcoming attitude and friendly service.<br />
