Dear Collectors<br />

Welcome to the fi nal edition of the Bulletin for 2010 and my fi rst as<br />

Manager of Philatelic. Over the past few years I have looked after<br />

the <strong>Australia</strong>n Stamp Issue Program and its related products, as well<br />

as managing the various marketing activities and promotions for the<br />

group. I look forward to my new role with enthusiasm and welcome<br />

the opportunity it affords me in getting to know our many collectors,<br />

dealers and general stamp enthusiasts.<br />

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Noel Leahy for his<br />

contribution to the philatelic business and the development of a team<br />

of very talented and professional people. The group I have inherited<br />

includes designers and product developers that will continue to push<br />

<strong>Australia</strong>n stamps into the forefront of the philatelic world and I view<br />

the future with excitement, but fi rst we need to get ready for the<br />

coming holiday season and view the remaining issues of 2010.<br />

One of the fi nal stamp issues for this year captures our sporting spirit<br />

and goes toward identifying who we are as a nation. The Melbourne<br />

Cup is an <strong>Australia</strong>n event that also invites international interest and<br />

is rightly tagged as “the race that stops the nation”. The race itself<br />

only runs for around three minutes, but the excitement begins to build<br />

when the Spring Carnival is launched and continues right up until the<br />

release of the barrier on the fi rst Tuesday in November. On the day<br />

of the Cup, if you aren’t attending, you will probably be watching and<br />

checking to see where you came in the sweep! This year we celebrate<br />

150 years of the Melbourne Cup with four stamps, including one<br />

which features an illustration of the new cup with the remaining three<br />

stamps presenting some of the champions of this famous event.<br />

Whilst Christmas holds traditional celebrations for many and a<br />

traditional Christmas stamp issue, the magic of the season comes to<br />

life for children when they write their letters to Santa with promises<br />

of good intentions and an expectation of the gifts to be received.<br />

Our Dear Santa stamp issue illustrates the importance to children<br />

of this simple task. With some of the things listed, it’s a wonder<br />

that sleigh ever gets off the ground. For those with a liking for our<br />

Christmas Island stamp designs there will be two new Christmas<br />

stamps released.<br />

This edition brings you the 2010 Collection of <strong>Australia</strong>n Stamps and<br />

the 2010 Territories Collection of Stamps − a gift for any occasion.<br />

Why not grab one for yourself and one for a friend. This beautifully<br />

presented book is a delight to read and a valuable collecting resource.<br />

You will also fi nd an invitation for <strong>Australia</strong>n residents to participate<br />

in our annual Stamp Poll with your copy of the Bulletin. There’s a great<br />

prize to be won and the chance to have your say about <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />

stamp designs and subjects, so I encourage all of you to enter.<br />

Best wishes to you for the festive season from all of us in Philatelic.<br />

Michael Zsolt,<br />

Manager, Philatelic

Issue Highlights<br />

This issue is accompanied by a<br />

Melbourne Cup winners.<br />

The Melbourne Cup has been raced annually at Flemington<br />

Racecourse since 1861. Its popularity arose from the handicap<br />

conditions in a race run over two miles for horses of at least three<br />

years of age. At the race’s establishment, some claimed its handicap<br />

conditions would encourage mediocrity on the track. How wrong<br />

they were, for the Melbourne Cup soon became the centrepiece of<br />

the <strong>Australia</strong>n racing calendar and it has long since been known as<br />

“the race that stops a nation”. By the early 1880s, it attracted around<br />

one-third of Melbourne’s population at the time. Today, it draws a<br />

capacity crowd of 120,000 on the fi rst Tuesday of each November,<br />

while several million others follow the race on television screens<br />

around the nation. It is a special <strong>Australia</strong>n celebration at race<br />

meetings, parties and work breaks around the nation.<br />

The three winners featured in the stamp issue span the history of<br />

the Cup. Carbine was the 1890 winner and one of <strong>Australia</strong>’s greatest<br />

racehorses ever. Setting a weight record for the race, and in the<br />

fastest time to that date, he symbolised strength and courage. In<br />

1930, Phar Lap lifted the spirits of a nation feeling the malaise of<br />

the Great Depression. The big chestnut survived an attempt on his<br />

life in the week prior to his Melbourne Cup triumph, and died amid<br />

controversy following his Agua Caliente Handicap win in 1932.<br />

Saintly galloped to victory over a strong fi eld in 1996. Bred, trained<br />

and part owned by Bart Cummings, Saintly is well connected with the<br />

man who has dominated the modern era of the Melbourne Cup and<br />

known as the “Cups King” for his unrivalled 12 wins. The other stamp<br />

in the issue features the Melbourne Cup. In 2010, the design and size<br />

of “loving cup” returns to James Steeth’s 1930 design for the revered<br />

sporting trophy.<br />

1667241 Gutter strip<br />

In the weeks leading up to Christmas, <strong>Australia</strong>n children write letters<br />

to Father Christmas, or Santa Claus, requesting what they would like<br />

for Christmas. Santa enjoys reading the letters, often ho-hoing over<br />

his correspondents’ requests. On receiving these letters Santa makes<br />

a list of the presents he will bring to children throughout the world in<br />

time for the Christmas festivities.<br />

We like to think of Santa as a plump, jolly white-bearded man attired<br />

in a red coat with white collar and cuffs. This image of Santa has its<br />

origins in nineteenth-century United States of America. The origins of<br />

Father Christmas, however, may be traced back to much earlier times.<br />

The primary inspiration for Santa Claus is the fourth-century Greek<br />

Christian bishop St Nicholas, who was famous for giving gifts to<br />

the poor.

1667182 Booklet of 20<br />

Originally St Nicholas’ feast day was celebrated on the 6 December,<br />

and was marked by exchanging presents. In the sixteenth and<br />

seventeenth century the date was changed and Christmas Eve<br />

became the time for gift-giving in European countries. Today<br />

St Nicholas is the patron saint of the Dutch and Russian capitals,<br />

Amsterdam and Moscow.<br />

CHRISTMAS ISLAND CHRISTMAS<br />

60c ......... Golden Bosunbird<br />

$1.30...... Hoya vine & Ridley’s Orchid<br />

1661182 Booklet (10 x 60c)<br />

1661122 Sheetlet (5 x $1.30)<br />

In 2010 we continue our light-hearted Christmas Island Christmas<br />

series, with Rob Kiely again applying his brush to the subject,<br />

linking aspects of the island’s natural heritage to the tropical<br />

Christmas theme.<br />

In the 60-cent stamp design, the Golden Bosunbird (Phaethon<br />

lepturus) surveys the island from above to fi nd a place at which<br />

to deliver its Christmas gift. Elsewhere known as the White-tailed<br />

Tropicbird, this seabird has a distinguishing golden hue to its plumage.<br />

A black streak extends across each eye, and it has black bars on its<br />

upper wings, but its long golden tail makes it most distinctive.<br />

The $1.30 stamp design continues the narrative of the Christmas gift<br />

delivery. In the foreground sits a gift bound with the vine Hoya aldrichii<br />

and the Ridley’s Orchid, Brachypeza archytas, the Bosunbird has<br />

carried in its beak. The hoya vine has clusters of small pink fl owers.<br />

Ridley’s Orchid grows low on the trunks of large trees on Christmas<br />

Island, with stems of around 15–30 centimetres.<br />

1662220 Maxicards (2)<br />

1662002 First day cover<br />

10 | stamp bulletin australia | no. 307 | November– December 2010<br />

Christmas celebrates the anniversary of the birth of Jesus in the<br />

town of Bethlehem over two millennia ago. Today this Christian feast<br />

day is marked by church-going, festivities, present-giving, special<br />

meals and the wish for peace on Earth.<br />

Bruce Goold’s illustrations tell the familiar Christmas story. When<br />

Jesus was born, an angel told the good news to shepherds tending<br />

their fl ocks. On hearing the news the shepherds went to Bethlehem<br />

to see the newborn babe. Three wise men, bearing gifts, also came<br />

from the East to visit the baby Jesus.<br />

Goold’s artwork captures the essence of the Christmas story.<br />

He depicts the baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling cloth laying in<br />

a manger, normally used for feeding animals, surrounded by his<br />

parents, Mary and Joseph. The artwork also shows the angel<br />

announcing to the shepherds the good news that Christ the Lord<br />

has been born in Bethlehem.<br />

TALKING STAMPS<br />

WITH RICHARD BRECKON<br />

The Melbourne Cup Cu up uup on stamps<br />

The 1960 fi five ve pence pencee e( (5d) stamp particularly particul cularly<br />

poor weather by three<br />

issued to mark the 100th 00 h running i lengths. l h The jockey in 1934 was<br />

of the Melbourne Cup involved Darby Munro, who was depicted<br />

considerable controversy. The on the 22c stamp in the 1981<br />

suggestion to honour the event Sports Personalities issue. Munro<br />

came from the Victoria Racing also rode Cup winners Sirius<br />

Club. After some resistance (1944) and Russia (1946).<br />

associated with concerns about<br />

gambling, the <strong>Post</strong> Offi ce agreed The 1978 Horse Racing stamps<br />

to a stamp.<br />

proved popular with the racing<br />

fraternity and supplies of 35c, 50c<br />

and 55c stamps were inadequate<br />

necessitating a reprint of all three.<br />

(It is unusual for non-defi nitive<br />

stamps to be reprinted.)<br />

When the Melbourne Cup stamp<br />

was issued, there were the<br />

expected objections and some<br />

religious leaders even called for<br />

the stamp to be withdrawn from<br />

sale or for public boycotting.<br />

The stamp was designed by Frank<br />

Manley, who had recently retired<br />

as chief artist/engraver at the Note<br />

Printing Branch and had joined<br />

the <strong>Post</strong> Offi ce’s Stamp Advisory<br />

Committee. Manley’s design<br />

depicted Archer and jockey John<br />

Cutts (the winning combination<br />

of the fi rst two Cups), and a<br />

representation of the race trophy.<br />

The 1978 Horse Racing stamp<br />

issue featured four famous<br />

racehorses, including Pharlap and<br />

Peter Pan, chosen in consultation<br />

with racecaller Bill Collins OAM<br />

(1928–1997). The stamps were<br />

the fi rst to be designed by Brian<br />

Clinton, one of <strong>Australia</strong>’s most<br />

prolifi c stamp designers.<br />

Perhaps the most legendary and<br />

charismatic horse in <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />

racing, Phar Lap won the 1930<br />

Melbourne Cup. Starting the race<br />

as an 11/8 favourite, he became<br />

the shortest priced winner in the<br />

Cup’s history. Peter Pan won<br />

in 1932 after almost falling and<br />

would also win the 1934 Cup in<br />

24 | stamp bulletin australia | no. 307 | November– December 2010<br />

Following the launch of <strong>Australia</strong>’s<br />

Racing Hall of Fame in 2001,<br />

<strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong> issued Champions<br />

of the Turf in 2002, comprising<br />

fi ve 45c stamps featuring horses<br />

that were inducted into the Hall<br />

of Fame that year: Wakeful,<br />

Rising Fast, Manikato, Might and<br />

Power, and Sunline. The stamp<br />

illustrations, the work of Otto<br />

Schmidinger, depicted different<br />

moments in a race, and convey<br />

the speed, colour, energy and<br />

atmosphere of a race meeting.<br />

Two of these horses were<br />

Melbourne Cup winners, these<br />

being Rising Fast and Might and<br />

Power. In 1954 Rising Fast won<br />

the Caulfi eld Cup, the WS Cox<br />

Plate and the Melbourne Cup,<br />

making it the only horse in race<br />

history to win the treble in the<br />

same year.<br />

The 2007 <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />

Legends celebrated six greats of<br />

horse racing – Scobie Breasley<br />

AM, Bart Cummings AM, Roy<br />

Higgins MBE, Bob Ingham AO,<br />

George Moore OBE and John<br />

Tapp OAM.<br />

Bart Cummings (the (h (the “Cups “C<br />

“Cu<br />

King”) trained an astounding 12<br />

Melbourne Cup winners - Light<br />

Fingers (1965), Galilee (1966), Red<br />

Handed (1967), Think Big (1974<br />

and 1975), Gold and Black (1977),<br />

Hyperno (1979), Kingston Rule<br />

(1990), Let’s Elope (1991), Saintly<br />

(1996), Rogan Josh (1999) and<br />

Viewed (2008).<br />

Jockey Roy Higgins rode two<br />

Melbourne Cup winners – Light<br />

Fingers (1965) and Red Handed<br />

(1967). Light Fingers is depicted<br />

on one of the two 2007 Legends<br />

stamps issued for Higgins.<br />

With the 2010 150th Melbourne<br />

Cup stamp issue three Cup<br />

winners have been honoured, two<br />

of them never having appeared on<br />

a stamp before – Carbine (1890),<br />

Phar Lap (1930) and Saintly (1996).<br />

Phar Lap’s bloodline can be traced<br />

back to Carbine through both his<br />

sire (father) and dam (mother).<br />

Although Saintly was one of 12<br />

Cup wins for Bart Cummings,<br />

the horse is the trainer’s most<br />

beloved.<br />
