Stamp Bulletin Issue No. 341 / July–August 2016 Owls: Guardians of the Night 50 Years of Play School Road to Rio Fair Dinkum Aussie Alphabet Part 2 Christmas Island Shells INCLUDES the Gold Medallists Sheetlets offer Dear Collectors The July–August Stamp Bulletin is packed with philatelic news and new stamp releases. We introduce the Road to Rio stamp issue, marking Australia’s participation in the Games, and outline our gold medallists instant stamp program. The design of the Road to Rio stamp is colourful and dynamic, just what you’d expect to mark an international sporting event held in Brazil. Michael Zsolt Manager, Philatelic Australia Post All applications for the reproduction of Australian stamps should be made in writing to: Manager Philatelic Australia Post GPO Box 1777 MELBOURNE VIC 3001 [email protected] As you are probably aware, the London Games was recently revisited, as Australia’s Jared Tallent was belatedly recognised as the winner of the 50km walk at London when Russia was disqualified. Fittingly, we release a single gold-medallist stamp following the ceremony in Melbourne on 17 June, acknowledging Jared’s win. I'm pleased to announce a new era in the design and production of stamps for the Australian external territory of Norfolk Island. Norfolk Island comes under the Australian territories stamp program from 1 July 2016, with the first stamp issue released in the australiapostcollectables.com.au second half of the year. In the past, the Norfolk Island Postal Administration has produced the island’s stamps, which could not be used in Australia despite Norfolk Island being an Australian territory. Each stamp will bear the inscription “Norfolk Island, Australia” and further details are outlined on page 4. We look forward to producing stamps that reflect the unique culture, identity and diversity of this amazing Australian territory. Australian culture is a focus with the second part of our Fair Dinkum Aussie Alphabet stamp issue and the 50th anniversary of an Australian children’s television favourite, Play School. Our natural world, too, is highlighted, with nocturnal birds recognised in the issue Owls: Guardians of the Night, and the Christmas Island Shells stamp issue. 3 July–August 2016 Contents Our online community will be the go-to place for news about gold medal wins by Australian athletes in Rio! Each gold medal win will be marked with a sheetlet of 10 stamps, released within days of the medal presentation.

Norfolk Island the start of an era Don't miss out on the first stamp issue by Australia Post Australian stamps offer a diverse range of subjects and themes. With the onset of the first Norfolk Island stamp issue from Australia Post, now would a great time to begin collecting, or to introduce someone like the kids to the hobby. If you’re a collector of Norfolk Island stamps you may like to make the most of this historic occasion and place a standing order for products with Australia Post. Visit auspostcollectables.com.au for details and to download the form. The external territory stamps are presented in a separate collection each year and complement the annual collection of Australian gummed stamps. Norfolk Island is a territory of Australia, situated about 1,600 kilometres northeast of Sydney in the southern Pacific Ocean. Around 80 per cent* of the territory’s population of 1,796* are Australian citizens with 38 per cent* of the total population being direct descendants of the Pitcairn Islanders who settled there in 1856. The Australian Government, through its Territories Legislation Amendment Act 2016 has made changes to ensure that the territory’s Australian citizens have the same rights and responsibilities as those of mainland Australia. From 1 July 2016, most Commonwealth laws will apply to Norfolk Island except those specifically excluded. The Australian Postal Corporation Act 1989 is one such law that will apply. As of 1 July 2016, the responsibility for the administration of Norfolk Island’s postal system, including the development and production of its stamps, will pass to Australia Post. The name on the stamps, Norfolk Island, will become Norfolk Island, Australia and all stamps carrying the inscription will be valid for use in Australia, as will Australian stamps on Norfolk Island. Australia Post will release the first stamp issue for Norfolk Island as postal administrator in September. The stamp designs feature the Masked Booby and Red-tailed Tropicbird of the island. Full details of the stamp issue will appear in the SeptemberOctober edition of the Australian Stamp Bulletin, and the stamps will be included in the end of year Australian Territories Collection of Stamps. We will also be releasing six postage paid postcards with a Norfolk Island theme after 1 July 2016. The Philatelic Group of Australia Post would like to extend a warm welcome to Norfolk Island stamp collectors. We also look forward to the opportunity of presenting to all collectors the themes and special interest subjects associated with the territory as part of our annual program of stamps. *Commonwealth of Australia Census 2011 5 0964727 Cemetery Bay NI postcard $2.20 0964728 Emily Bay NI postcard $2.20 0964729 Kingston NI postcard $2.20 0964730 Quality Row NI postcard $2.20 0964731 Royal Engineers Office NI postcard $2.20 0964732 St Barnabas Chapel NI postcard $2.20 Owls Guardians of the Night Technical details Issue date 5 July 2016 FDI withdrawal 2 August 2016 Denomination 4 × $1 Stamp illustration Christopher Pope Product design Sharon Rodziewicz, Australia Post Design Studio Printer (s/a) EgoTrade Pty Ltd Paper (s/a) Tullis Russell Red Phos (Secure Post Cprint 100) Printing process Offset lithography Stamp size 30mm × 50mm Minisheet size 170mm x 80mm Perforations 14 × 14.4 Sheet layout Module of 25 design (4) National postmark Nightcliff NT 0810 The stamp size of this issue is double definitive Among our approximately 750 species of birds in Australia, nine owl species can be found on the mainland and in Tasmania. This captivating nocturnal bird of prey falls into two genera: Tyto (masked and barn owls) and Ninox (hawk-owls and boobooks). The former are distinguished by their classic heart-shaped facial disc; the latter by their hawk-like appearance. The two masked owls in the issue are the Sooty Owl and Eastern Grass Owl. The heavily built Sooty Owl is larger and darker than its close relative, the Lesser Sooty Owl. This very secretive owl occurs along the east coast, from central Queensland into southern Victoria. The comparatively long-legged Eastern Grass Owl is the only Australian owl species to live on the ground. It occupies open grassland and swampy areas across northern Australia, much of Queensland, north-eastern New South Wales and north-eastern South Australia. It spends much of its days in “squats” – cave-like hides that it builds in the grass. The two Ninox species in this issue are the Rufous Owl and the Southern Boobook. The Rufous is large at 45–55 centimetres, and its prey can include the Brush Turkey and Sugar Glider, as well as beetles. It is found in north-eastern Queensland and along the northern coast into Western Australia. The Southern Boobook shown in the stamp is the subspecies lurida, which is smaller and darker than other subspecies and confined to around the Atherton Tablelands, in Queensland. The smallest of Australian owls, the Southern Boobook is also the most numerous and widespread.

On the morning of Monday 18 July 1966, the first Australian episode of Play School appeared on the nation’s screens. The ABC had been screening the British program of the same name (which began in 1964 and ceased production in 1988) for two months prior. Fifty years later and Play School is Australia’s longest running children’s television program. Generations of Australians have taken a look through the Windows and sung along to the iconic theme song, “There’s a Bear in There” by Richard Connolly and Dr Rosemary Milne. The 50 Years of Play School stamp issue celebrates half a century of this icon of Australian television. Ninety-one presenters have been part of the program over this time, many of them professional actors and many becoming much-loved audience favourites. They have sung songs, dressed up, played games and made craft around a daily theme, then checked the time on the Play School clock before story time. Lorraine Bayly, Dianne Dorgan, Kerry Francis, Anne Haddy, Donald MacDonald and Alister Smart formed the initial cast of presenters in 1966. Dianne Dorgan and Don Spencer also appeared on the British version of the program (and Lorraine Bayly appeared as a guest storyteller in 1972). Benita Collings featured in a record 401 episodes between 1969 and 1999. The presenters, talking directly into the camera to their audience, interact with a cast of toys, including Big Ted, Little Ted, Jemima and Humpty, who have become icons in their own right and feature on the stamps. With the help of the presenters, the toys join in the activities and sometimes even embark on an adventure outside. 9 July–August 2016 INCLUDES stickers 1904002 First day cover (gummed) $3.30 1904400 Special sheetlet pack $22 1904360 PNC Big Ted and Little Ted RAM coin (7,500) $24.95 1904500 PNC Jemima and Humpty RAM coins (5,000) Limit of 2 $29.95 1904300 Medallion cover (3,500) Limit of 3 $29.95 1904250 Booklet of 10 x $1 (s/a) $10 Not part of standing orders for mail order 1904142 Minisheet $3 1904126 Stamp pack $6.45 Road to Rio First Day of Issue 2 August 2016 Sydney NSW 2000 Technical details Issue date 2 August 2016 FDI withdrawal 31 August 2016 Denomination 1 x $1 Stamp and Simone Sakinofsky, product design Australia Post Design Studio Printer RA Printing Paper (s/a) Tullis Russell Red Phos Printing process Offset lithography Stamp size 37.5mm x 26mm Sheetlet size 101mm x 156mm Perforations 13.86 x 14.6 Sheet layout Sheetlet of 10 National postmark Sydney NSW 2000 Build your Olympic themed collection of stamps through the Australian gold medallist stamp program, honouring our gold-medal winners. Between 5 and 21 August 2016, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s carnival city, will host the Games of the XXXI Olympiad. This will be the first time a South American city has played host to the Games in the 120-year history of the modern Olympic era. Rio, recognisable by unique landmarks such as Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain, is the second Latin American city to welcome Olympians to its sporting venues, Mexico City having hosted the Games in 1968. It is also the first time since the Sydney 2000 Games that Olympians will converge on a Southern Hemisphere host city. design taps into this sense of energy and place, translating the spirit of Cidade Maravilhosa to this international sport spectacular through vivid colour, rippling ribbons and athletic figures. Australia will send a team of around 400 elite athletes to compete in most of the 28 sports that have a place on this year’s Olympic calendar. They will be supported by a team of 350. Predictions have it that our athletes may well double the number of gold medals Australia earned in London in 2012. Cidade Maravilhosa – the marvellous city, as Rio is affectionately known – is famed for its rich, vibrant and spirited carnival.

Let’s have a Captain Cook at the second instalment of the true-blue Aussie alphabet! This time it’s Tassie’s turn, with Tarquin the tradie teaching two-up in his tinny to Teena the terrified Tasmanian Devil. Tragically, when the coins were tossed, terrified Teena toppled into the treacherous Tasman in a tailspin. Traumatised, the tearful tradie then travelled to the Tarkine to join the battle to save the Tasmanian Devil from the same terrible, terminal fate as the Thylacine. Meanwhile, Louisa the lazy Lace Monitor lobs a lamington to Lionel the Lyrebird for lunch and rapacious Rebecca regards her rusty refrigerator replete with relics robbed from her rich relatives. In Canberra, Cheryl and Claude, a customarily cautious couple, courageously cajole a chummy crocodile and crazy cockatoo into camping and cooking, while Aaron the angry Aussie Rules aficionado is anxious that acclaimed Adelaide achieves its ambition.
