Dear Collectors, 

As winter begins I invite readers to take a step into the past and 

imagine the romance of ocean travel, with Bon Voyage. The 

designs use the dramatic original graphic designs that enticed 

travellers to and from Australia in the early to mid-twentieth 

century. I am also pleased to introduce a new product with 

this issue, a poster collection featuring six beautiful A3, full 

colour posters suitable for framing. 

At the end of June we will mark the 150th anniversary of 

the Eureka Stockade.The events of Eureka were the climax of 

several years of dissatisfaction on the Victorian goldfi elds, and 

have become a symbol of democratic protest and national 

identity. Our designs use historic images to call to mind the 

spirit of the day, and to remind us that 150 years on, the events 

of Eureka can still spark debate and inspire a nation. 

In July, Australian Impressions pays tribute to aspects of 

Australia that are loved as much by local tourists as they are by 

visitors from overseas. Our unique wildlife, beautiful beaches 

and world heritage sites, each in their own way make indelible 

impressions on the Australia psyche. 

Also in July, Christmas Island Underwater showcases the 

spectacular underwater life to be discovered in the waters 

around Christmas Island. The sheetlet design presents a true 

window into the underwater world. 

As I announced earlier in the year, we will be issuing a 

stamp each time an Australian individual or team wins a gold 

medal at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. In this Bulletin we 

preview our special Gold Medallists offer. As they did in 2000, 

these stamps will capture the excitement of the competition 

and spread the gold medal winner’s pride throughout 

Australia, a role they will again play in 2004. 

Collectors who want to ensure their collections include a 

complete set of Gold Medallist stamps will want to take up our 

special offer which is covered on pages 18-19 of this Bulletin. 

Registering for the 2004 Australian Gold Medallists special 

offer is the easiest and most cost effective way to collect Gold 

Medallists stamps. 

Until next time, 

Amber McDougall, Manager, Philatelic Group

BON VOYAGE 

150th Anniversary Murray River Shipping 

The stamps and associated products in this 

Bon Voyage issue beautifully capture the 

mystique and allure of 20 th century ocean 

liner travel to and from Australia 

The designs draw on stylish artwork from 

original advertising posters to evoke the 

romance and excitement associated with 

ocean travel. 

The four stamps in this issue give us a 

glimpse of tourist ships in the early to mid 20 th 

century. Many fabulous posters were designed 

from the 1920s advertising the delights of 

ocean travel. During this period Australia was 

a destination for many, including migrants, 

and more adventurous travellers from Europe. 

At the same time Australians were increasingly 

travelling abroad, particularly to the United 

Kingdom. 

The designer 

The stamps are designed by Melinda Coombs 

whose previous stamp designs for Australia 

Post include Endangered Birds (June, 1998) and 

the Joint Issue with Sweden (August, 2001).

Associated products 

As well as the four gummed stamps and a 

booklet of ten x 50c, this issue also includes 

a fi rst day cover, stamp pack, set of four 

maximum cards, and a poster collection. 

The poster collection features six A3 full 

colour travel posters and includes fascinating 

information about the shipping lines and 

the ships. 

Priced at just $12.95 for six A3 posters 

suitable for framing, the Bon Voyage poster 

collection would make a wonderful gift for 

anyone with a love of travel or an eye for 

stylish graphic design.

AAT ANARE Station First Day Covers 

The majority of Australian Antarctic Territory 

(AAT) stamps are used by Australians stationed 

at one of the four ANARE stations in the AAT. 

About 120 Australians spend a full year at 

one of the stations, isolated for months at a 

time until the supply ships arrive. 

Philatelic mail is not sent to the Antarctic. 

Orders and covers submitted for postmarking 

are processed in Australia to refl ect the supply 

ships’ arrival dates at each of the four bases. 

Each station has its own unique pictorial 

postmark. New everyday and fi rst day of issue 

designs were produced for Macquarie Island 

and the three base stations. The new designs 

were illustrated in Bulletin 273 (January- 

February 2004). 

The fi rst day of issue for each station is the 

date the supply ship arrives at the station. AAT 

ANARE station covers are produced for these 

dates. For 2002-2003 all ships arrived safely at 

the respective stations as listed below. These 

station covers are the fi rst use of the new FDI 

postmark designs previewed in Bulletin 273, 

June-July 2004 and illustrated again on these 

pages at right.

Eureka 1854–2004 

The Eureka Stockade came after years of 

increasing dissatisfaction on the Victorian 

goldfi elds and a growing desire for more 

representative and responsible government. 

The events of Eureka and the public’s 

response to those events were perhaps the most 

important early steps on the path to the robust, 

direct democracy Australia is today. 

The issue 

This commemorative issue of two stamps and 

a miniature sheet also includes fi rst day covers, 

a stamp and coin cover, a set of two maximum 

cards and a prestige booklet. 

The prestige booklet comprises four stamp 

panes interleaved with colour illustrations and 

text telling the story of the stockade. The stamp 

panes are two pairs of 50c stamps, one pair of 

$2.45 stamps, and one se-tenant pair. Priced at 

just $10.95 it would make a great gift. 

The stamp and coin cover illustrated on the 

following pages features a spectacular $5.00 

coloured coin with the Eureka fl ag in blue 

8 

dd Month YYYY 

and nugget in gold. The uncirculated coin is 

exclusive to Post’s stamp and coin cover. 

The designs 

The 50c stamp features a representation of the 

Eureka fl ag, which at the time was called the 

fl ag of the Southern Cross. 

The fl ag has become a symbol of democratic 

rights and freedoms and is identifi ed as a fl ag of 

the people. The original holds pride of place in 

the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery. 

The Eureka fl ag was fi rst fl own to rally 

people to Bakery Hill on 29 November 1854, 

the “Monster Meeting” of the Ballarat Reform 

League. The fl ag represents the Southern Cross, 

with white stars on a dark blue background. 

The Ballarat Times reported that “there is no 

fl ag in Europe, or in the civilised world half so 

beautiful”. 

The fl ag is constructed of very fi ne blue 

woollen fabric with a high sheen that gives a 

silk-like appearance. The cross is made of pieces 

of cotton twill and the stars of fi ne cotton lawn.

The $2.45 stamp uses an image of Peter 

Lalor, the man who led the diggers at the 

stockade (La Trobe Collection/State Library 

of Victoria). 

Peter Lalor (1827 – 1889) was born in Ireland 

and trained as an engineer before emigrating to 

Victoria in 1852. In 1853 he left Melbourne for 

the Ovens gold diggings, and in 1854 moved to 

Ballarat. He joined the Ballarat Reform League 

when political tension on the fi elds was high, 

and later emerged as the leader of the diggers. 

At Bakery Hill, Lalor called on the men to 

swear loyalty to their new fl ag. He was seriously 

wounded in the attack at the stockade. 

He was in hiding in Geelong for a time, 

but within a year he returned to Ballarat and 

was elected unopposed as a Member of the 

Legislative Assembly for North Grenville, a 

Ballarat seat. 

The stamp design also uses Lalor’s signature 

and a sketch by Charles Alphonse Doudiet 

(ca.1832 – 1872), a Swiss-born Canadian who 

participated in the Eureka rebellion. The sketch, 

Swearing allegiance to the Southern Cross 1854, 

shows the diggers taking the oath on Bakery 

Hill on 30 November 1854. 

Miniature sheet 

The miniature sheet features the diggers’ oath 

and two more sketches by Charles Alphonse 

Doudiet. These sketches, from the Ballarat Fine 

Art Gallery, have been important in establishing 

the events at Eureka. 

At left is Eureka Riot 17th October 1854, 

which resulted in the burning of Bentley’s hotel 

where James Scobie had been drinking before 

he was killed, and on the right, Eureka Slaughter 

3rd December 1854. A digger’s licence is printed 

in the bottom left of the miniature sheet. 

29 June 2004 

The designer 

The stamps are designed by Janet Boschen 

of the Australia Post Design Studio. Her 

previous designs include the Centenary of 

the High Court (September 2003) and Bush 

Tucker (September 2002).

Every year millions of Australians spend their 

holidays reconnecting with our unique island 

continent. This stamp issue pays tribute to 

our unique wildlife – our love affair with the 

beach and our world heritage areas – aspects 

of Australia that leave indelible impressions 

on our hearts and minds. These impressions 

of Australia draw tourists to our shores, and 

call us home, no matter how long or how far 

we roam. 

The stamps 

$1.00 Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) 

The koala is one of the marsupial species 

that developed exclusively on the Australian 

continent, probably during the time when 

Australia was drifting northward, gradually 

12 

separating from what was to become the 

Antarctic, about 45 million years ago. The 

modern koala is the single living representative 

of its genus and species Phascolarctos cinereus, 

and a universally recognised and much loved 

symbol of Australia. 

It’s hard to believe that the koala was once 

hunted, almost to extinction, for its fur. Public 

outcry in Australia and around the world led 

to the koala being declared a protected species 

in the 1930s, but at that point it was believed 

only a few thousand animals remained. 

Today a national koala conservation strategy 

addresses the management issues facing one of 

Australia’s most high profi le species in all the 

states and territories in which the koala occurs 

naturally.

$1.00 Little penguin (Eudyptula minor) 

Penguins are fl ightless seabirds that are only 

found in the Southern Hemisphere. Little 

penguins are found in small colonies around 

the southern coastlines of Australia and its 

islands (a sub-speciesis found in New Zealand 

where they are known as “blue penguins”). 

The bird’s other name, “fairy penguin” is 

better suited to the magical sight of these miniature 

treasures walking up the shore and back 

to their burrows at dusk. 

Although the best known spot for viewing 

these birds is the Penguin Parade at Victoria’s 

Phillip Island Nature Park, breeding colonies 

can be found along the southern coast of 

Australia, as far north as South Solitary Island 

NSW (near Coffs Harbour) as far west as the 

Shoalwater Island Group near Perth WA, and as 

far south as Bruny Island TAS.

$1.45 Clown anemonefi sh (Amphiprion 

percula) 

These small, bright orange fi sh are just one of 

the many colourful sea creatures that draws 

visitors to the Great Barrier Reef. 

The reef is one of the world’s natural 

wonders. It contains the largest coral reef 

ecosystem with 400 types of coral, 1500 species 

of fi sh and 4000 types of mollusc. The reef is 

the habitat of threatened species such as the 

dugong and large green turtle. 

13

The Great Barrier Reef is also the world’s 

largest marine protected area. It was inscribed 

on the Register of World Heritage Sites in 1981, 

in recognition of its unique character . 

$2.45 Main Beach, Gold Coast Queensland 

The outback looms large in the Australian 

psyche, but about 83% of us live less than 50 km 

from the coast. Our coastline stretches some 

36,000 km around Australia, from secret coves 

to developed holiday resort beaches the local 

beach is a place anyone can go to enjoy the sun, 

sea and sand. 

The beach is surfi ng and sandcastle building, 

sun-safe sun worshiping and people watching, 

not to mention the restorative qualities of the 

sea air and the fun of a game of beach cricket. 

Australians love to spend their holidays at 

the beach, and Queensland is home to some of 

the best known beaches in the world. The beach 

featured on this stamp is instantly recognisable 

as Main Beach, Gold Coast, Queensland. 

It speaks to us not only of sunny days, sand 

and surf, but also of the promise of exotic 

nightlife, a swag of restaurants and shopping 

for every taste and budget.

an almost continuous sea cliff. 

There is virtually no coastal shelf and the 

sea plummets to a depth of about 5000 m 

Sheetlet 80% actual size

is surrounded by an encircling coral reef. Its 

waters teem with beautiful tropical fish and 

other sea life. 

With its clear waters and sea cliffs, 

Christmas Island is winning a world-wide 

reputation as a unique dive site.

2004 Australian Gold Medallists 

In 2000 Australia Post made philatelic and 

Olympic Games history when it issued a 

sheetlet of Gold Medallists stamps each time 

an Australian team or individual won a Gold 

Medal. 

This year, Australia Post will again celebrate 

each Gold Medal won by an Australian 

individual or team during the Athens 2004 

Olympic Games. 

The template for our 2004 stamp, which will 

be produced in sheetlets of ten, is shown above. 

By building and improving on the integrated 

production and delivery processes established 

in 2000, we will be able to deliver offset printed 

sheetlets to capital cities and major regional 

centres within two days of the Medal Ceremony 

(cutting a day off the 2000 offset schedule). 


There are no fi rst day covers, national fi rst 

day of issue postmarks, maximum cards or 

stamp packs for this issue because of licensing 

requirements. 

We will produce local fi rst day of issue 

postmarks that will be available in some post 

offi ces in all states and territories. Customers 

are encouraged to make their own fi rst day 

covers, either using the blank fi rst day cover 

designed for the Gold Medallists issue, or their 

own private cover designs. A list of locations 

with local fi rst day of issue postmarkers will 

be published in the August-September 2004, 

Bulletin No. 277.

There was a time when Australia’s economy and 

image “rode on the sheep’s back”. While wool, 

wheat and beef were the industry’s traditional 

icons, Australian agriculture today includes 

such industries as wine and bush foods. 

The exhibition examines rural and

Maximum card 

Australia’s fi rst railway opened in 1854 and 

to commemorate the 150th anniversary, the 

exhibition will feature railways on Australian 

and world stamps. 

Railways had a long history of carrying 

the mail across Australia and often the job of 

sorting mail was performed in railway vans 

called “travelling post offi ces”. Images of trains, 

tracks, stations and memorabilia will enthuse 

trainspotters and stampspotters alike.

$5.00 Uncirculated Aluminium Bronze Coin 

Four years have passed since Sydney hosted 

the millennium Olympic Games. Sydney 

welcomed the world and the nation celebrated 

our athletes’ success. 

Now the time approaches for the Australian 

Olympic team to journey to Athens. 

The $5.00 aluminium bronze (Al-Bronze) 

uncirculated coin captures the antiquity of the 

Games with a stylised engraving of a Greek 

athlete alongside an Aboriginal spear thrower. 

Their physique, prowess and stance above the 

Australian Olympic Team logo represent a 

noble link between the two cultures. 

The colour Australian Olympic logo is pad 

printed on the coin’s reverse (illustrated above). 

This collector coin is an affordable memento 

for all Australians. The packaging allows easy 

display. This coin is designed by Wojciech 

Pietranik and will be available only in Australia.
