OK rod, why would Melbourne postmen wear pith helmets? Is that area that dangerous?

That's a very good question Ray,
I had not even considered that.
I have no idea, perhaps just a "uniform" look, that engenders respect
as would the policeman, but I really don't know.

Maybe I'm missing the joke, but...
isn't the pith helmet part of the summer uniform in order to provide cooling and protection from the sun? |

More camels from Sudan... What do you suppose that third camel is looking at? I don't know why, but it strikes me as funny that the artist would choose to render that little detail.  |

CD, that camel stamp is amazing! The engraving must have been based on a photograph, unless the engraver had a weird imagination! |
