Moving further into September, and the beginnings of a return to warmer weather in our southern states, we see the release of a stamp issue aligned with some much loved outside activity! For many, golf is a favourite pastime and of course, to succeed in the sport you need all the golfing paraphernalia. The stamp issue features some of the common golfing implements and we look at the history of the sport in Australia. The release of the issue will be just in time as we get ready to host the Presidents Cup. This prestigious event will attract huge crowds later in the year as they try to catch a glimpse of some of the game’s champions from around the world. children when we undertake our school visits during Stamp Collecting Month each October. Mythical Creatures, through the superb illustrations of Alan Pocock, comprise the characters mermaid, troll, fairy, griffin, unicorn, and of course, dragon. Included in the range is a special 3D pack containing a minisheet designed by applying a number of different layers giving it the 3D effect. The pack includes a pair of 3D glasses needed to view the effect. This is just one of the wide range of products included in this issue, some of which would be ideal to give as a gift. In October we release a single stamp to mark CHOGM 2011. This is the third time the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting has been held in Australia, with previous meetings being held in Melbourne (1981) and Coolum (2002). HRH Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip will attend the event. Finally don’t forget to catch up with the complete set of Bush Babies postal and numismatic covers, with another due to be released later this year to complete the set.

In Australia plentiful space and our sporting culture has ensured a strong following of the sport. Both the Australian Golf Club in Sydney and the Royal Melbourne Golf Club can lay claim to being the oldest golf club in the country. While the Australian was founded in 1882, it did not operate between 1888 and 1895. Royal Melbourne, although founded later on in 1891, has been in continuous operation, making it the longest functioning club. Despite their longevity, neither club can claim to be the oldest golf course in Australia. The Bothwell course in Tasmania was established in 1839, and may well have been the first golf course in the Southern Hemisphere. The first game was played there by Scotsman Alexander Reid, who brought with him from Scotland clubs and the standard golf balls of the day called “featheries”. These were bull hide balls stuffed with feathers and introduced as early as the 17th century to replace wooden golf balls. The Bothwell Golf Club was formally established in 1902 and is still in operation. 1707013 First day cover (minisheet) 1707142 Minisheet 6 1707182 Booklet of 10 Golf 27 September 2011 1707220 Maxicard set of five A highlight of the 2011 Australian golfing year will be the hosting of The Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne in November. The Presidents Cup is a biennial series of matches between a US team and an international team representing the rest of the world outside Europe. It is hosted alternatively in the US and in countries represented by the international team. Royal Melbourne, which also hosted the cup in 1998, has the distinction of being the only course outside the USA to host the cup more than once. Throughout its 17-year history, the world’s greatest players have participated, including Greg Norman, Fred Couples, Arnold Palmer, Peter Thomson, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tiger Woods. Despite the competition, the spirit of The Presidents Cup is one of international harmony and understanding, with no prize money directly awarded to the competitors. Instead. each competitor allocates an equal portion of the funds generated to charities of his choice. Since the event’s inception in 1994, nearly $22 million has been raised for charities worldwide. 1707126 Stamp pack TECHNICAL DETAILS Issue date 27 September 2011 FDI withdrawal date 25 October 2011 Keep an eye out for a postal and numismatic cover along with a medallion cover to be released November 2011.

ISSUE HIGHLIGHTS The range of products with this issue includes a 3D minisheet stamp pack, complete with viewing glasses, and a set of two stamp and medallion covers. There is also a prestige booklet of the early sketches, along with full-colour illustrations of the creatures by illustrator, Aaron Pocock. Keep an eye open for other products to be released. Fairy Excitable and contrary, fairies can be both malicious and good-hearted. Common in mythology, they can take on a number of guises. The winged, diminutive figure we know today first appeared in 19th-century art. Troll This creature is often referred to as the ugliest of legendary beings. Grumpy, strong and not very clever, trolls originated in Scandinavia. In the famous Norwegian fairy tale “The Three Billy Goats Gruff” the troll who lives under the bridge is easily outsmarted by the wily goats. Mermaid In Greek mythology the beautiful woman with the tail of a fish lures sailors to their deaths with her eerie song. More recently the virtuous Little Mermaid in Hans Christian Andersen’s 1837 story bravely rescues the drowning prince when his ship is wrecked in a storm. 1702002 First day cover 8 1702013 First day cover (minisheet) Mythical Creatures 4 October 2011 1702241 Gutter (10 x 60c) with design Griffin This majestic being has the body of a lion and the wings and head of an eagle. It is very ancient, first appearing in art of the Bronze Age. The Griffin was often regarded as king of all creatures and responsible for guarding priceless treasure. According to medieval legend the noble griffin mated only once and for life. Unicorn This horse-like creature with a spiralling horn projecting from its forehead was first mentioned by the ancient Greeks. In the Middle Ages it was believed that only a young girl could catch this wild and shy animal, and it is often shown with its head resting docilely in a maiden’s lap. Dragon This creature appears in the mythology of most cultures. In European legend it is usually a malevolent, fire-breathing monster with bat-like wings. It lives in a dark lair, like a cave, and in both the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf and the Christian story of St George the dragon is subdued and slain by the hero. 1702142 Minisheet 1702220 Maxicard set of six 9 4 October 2011 Stamp Collecting Month $19.95 Follow the design sketches of the stamps in this large prestige booklet.

It will always be legendary. Evans won the coveted yellow jersey after a flawless individual time trial in Grenoble at stage 20. This was to place him within reach of the championship. All he had to do to complete a lifelong dream, and three gruelling weeks of competition, was to ride the 95km stage 21 from Créteil to Paris. Evans would enter the city along the historic Champs-Élysées with millions of Australians back home sharing the moment. Australia loves its sporting heroes. To win this one event has always been something special and Australian cycling will never be the same. Thousands of young riders will dream of being the one to emulate the ride and subsequent victory of Cadel Evans. Now we can all mark this historic sporting achievement with a range of products. *Framed products available to Australian residents only. 1514686 Cadel Evans souvenir stamp sheet 1514689 Cadel Le Champion Champs-Élysées Framed* Facsimile signed framed lithographs shown.
