Sc# 4019 2013 55c Christmas Tree.
Scan appears washed out or damaged, however it is the stamps design that gives this effect.
The stamp is embossed, and coated with green and gold foil.
When the light strikes it as a particular angle, it looks beautiful.

We have a funny feeling, Australia Post look at these forums for inspiration.
So, what would we like on an Aussie Stamp?

What about an Aussie Icon? A Chinese Spring Roll....Australian Style.
The (drum roll) ....The Chiko Roll.
As Aussie as the Collingwood footy team.

Designed way back (1950) by Frank McEnroe, who trialled this thing from a caravan towed behind his car.
1979 Sales totalled 40 million a year.

The Americans own it now

In fact...I feel like one right now.

His Majesty's ship, HMS Sirius.
Sc#861 1983


The HMS Sirius played a central role in the establishment of the first European settlement in Australia and arrived at Sydney Cove on 26 January 1788. The vessel served as the flagship and was the largest of the 11 ships comprising the First Fleet commanded by Captain Arthur Phillip, who was to be the first Governor of the new colony of New South Wales.

This fine 1:24 scale model of the Sirius was built by retired Royal Australian Navy Lieutenant Commander Geoffrey Ingleton, probably Australia's foremost maritime historian, who had interests in publishing, cartography, drafting, etching, illustration, painting, printing and model making. There are some 3,600 brass nails fastening the deck planks of the model and a similar number in the side planking. It was commissioned, together with the a model of the HMS Supply, by the Australian Sesqui-Centenary Committee to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet in Port Jackson. The models were for display in a procession in Sydney entitled 'Australia's March to Nationhood'. Later in 1938 the models were presented to the Museum.
