Dear Collector,<br />
Our Centenary of Federation year is drawing to a close. For<br />
such a significant year, my sense is that the public focus and<br />
celebration of the event has been a little disappointing.<br />
Perhaps the Olympics absorbed too much of our national<br />
spirit; perhaps some, mistakenly, saw it as belonging to<br />
politicians rather than to the people.<br />
I feel there is a risk of a lost opportunity. I know that<br />
when I saw the scant archival film of the events in 1901, I<br />
wished more had been preserved for future generations to<br />
enjoy and appreciate. Now that I have grandchildren, the<br />
question arises how can I best leave them some record,<br />
some legacy, of this important year.<br />
I am proud of the wonderful range of <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />
products that commemorate the Centenary of Federation.<br />
I want to commend them to you as a perfect way to<br />
remember the year and to share your memories with<br />
future generations.<br />
The 2001 Collection of <strong>Australia</strong>n Stamps is, of course the<br />
philatelic record of the year, and contains our Centenary of<br />
Federation <strong>stamp</strong>s.<br />
Stamping The Nation, a highly readable history of<br />
<strong>Australia</strong>’s first 100 years, uses <strong>stamp</strong>s to tell the story of<br />
<strong>Australia</strong>’s development. This book has received excellent<br />
reviews from many quarters and I believe it will become a<br />
treasured classic.<br />
The Royal <strong>Australia</strong>n Mint has issued a wonderful series<br />
of commemorative coins, released progressively during the<br />
year. Now the final sets have been issued and the complete<br />
20 coin collection is also available. Or you may wish to<br />
collect only those coins which relate to your state.<br />
Whichever option interests you, the coins are a magnificent<br />
keepsake of this important year.<br />
It would be a shame to let this significant anniversary<br />
slip by without marking it in some way. I have suggested<br />
some wonderful mementos that can inform, entertain and<br />
pass on the memories. There are other ways to remember<br />
the year. I think the important thing is for everyone to do<br />
something. It’s not too late.<br />
As this is the final edition for the year, I would like to<br />
wish all readers and their families a joyful and peaceful<br />
Christmas and a happy New year.<br />
Until next year,<br />

<strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong> introduced an annual Stamp<br />
Collecting Month in 1993 with the aim of<br />
raising young people’s awareness of the hobby<br />
of <strong>stamp</strong> collecting<br />
The themes for Stamp Collecting Month<br />
issues are selected with children’s interests in<br />
mind and designed to appeal to young<br />
children. Over the years the issues have ranged<br />
from Dinosaurs to Zoos, Pets, Planet Ocean,<br />
Creatures of the Night and Space.<br />
This year’s issue of six <strong>stamp</strong>s and two<br />
miniature sheets is an illustrative fantasy on<br />
<strong>Australia</strong>n bush life in the tradition of the ever<br />
popular creations of May Gibbs, Dorothy Wall,<br />
2 October 2001<br />
Ruth Park and Norman Lindsay. The engaging<br />
and whimsical images – showing a koala’s first<br />
birthday party – are by prize-winning<br />
<strong>Australia</strong>n children’s book illustrator and<br />
publisher, Roland Harvey.<br />
There are gummed and self-adhesive <strong>stamp</strong>s<br />
(a booklet of ten and rolls of 100) and a pair of<br />
miniature sheets in the issue. The miniature<br />
sheets show different views of the birthday<br />
festivities. As well as the <strong>stamp</strong>s and miniature<br />
sheets, the issue includes a <strong>stamp</strong> pack,<br />
collector pack and a set of six maximum cards.<br />
A Wild Babies sticker and activity book – also<br />
created by Roland Harvey – completes the issue.<br />

Setting the scene<br />
It’s Kevin Koala’s birthday and he has invited all<br />
his friends to a party in his towering gum tree<br />
deep in the <strong>Australia</strong>n bush. Kevin – sitting at<br />
the centre of the action – is surrounded by<br />
assorted sweets including his special boroniaflavoured<br />
cake with pink gumnut icing.<br />
Meanwhile his little bush friends arrive from<br />
far and wide to join the festivities. Mrs Goanna<br />
wheels baby Gregory in his pram while the<br />
Sugar Glider family prefers a more aerial route.<br />
Down below, little Courtney Kangaroo and<br />
James Wombat, under the watchful eyes of their<br />
parents, clamber up a ladder to join the party,<br />
while Jessica Platypus and her mum ponder just<br />
how they’ll manage the ascent.<br />
Also there for the fun and games is Jack (a<br />
cockatoo) who joins his dad in a jig, dancing<br />
and squawking raucously to the Bilby and<br />
Antechinus bush band.<br />
Emily Echidna and Kyle Kookaburra are<br />
enjoying the celebrations. Chloe, a ring-tailed<br />
possum, is feeling a little queasy after one too<br />
many grevillea-leaf cupcakes.<br />
Approaching from a tree limb are the ants.<br />
Although they were not invited they are hard at<br />
work, devising a strategy to reach the sticky<br />
delights of the birthday feast.<br />

Bush musicians<br />
Screeching loudly, a<br />
young sulphur-crested<br />

A ring-tailed possum,<br />
her baby clinging to her<br />
back, swings down to<br />
join the party. Two other<br />
small ring-tailed<br />
possums are already<br />
feasting on the treats.<br />
Kevin’s cake<br />
The hero of the day,<br />
Kevin Koala, enjoys his<br />
special birthday feast.<br />
How will he ever return<br />
to a diet of plain gum<br />
leaves?<br />
<strong>stamp</strong> collecting is wild, baby!<br />
Bilby gifts<br />
The little bilbies gather<br />
together with their gifts<br />
at the foot of the big gum<br />
tree. With them are<br />
Joshua Crocodile and<br />
Emma Emu. One little<br />
koala, having slipped on<br />
his way up, plummets<br />
head over heels<br />
back to earth.<br />
Jumping high<br />
A leaping mother<br />
wallaby, joey in pouch,<br />
encourages her young<br />

as she makes her ascent.<br />
Beside her an echidna<br />

clings to the ladder<br />
beside a little platypus.<br />

Mother wombat does<br />
her best to help James<br />

at their best when it<br />
comes to climbing trees!<br />

Roland Harvey, the illustrator<br />
If you believe in destiny, you’ll probably agree<br />
that Roland Harvey was destined to illustrate<br />
the Wild Babies <strong>stamp</strong> issue. After all Harvey’s<br />
passion for illustration developed alongside his<br />
love for the bush, in fact he says that his first<br />
publications were ‘…exercise books with bits of<br />
leaf, fern, feathers and sometimes whole logs<br />
stuck in them’.<br />
Or consider Harvey’s description of his own<br />
publishing endeavours, ‘We try to publish<br />
books that excite kids’ imaginations and make<br />
them say “I haven’t seen a book like that<br />
before”’. Substitute ‘<strong>stamp</strong>’ for ‘book’ and<br />
Harvey could be describing <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong>’s<br />
aims for Stamp Collecting Month.<br />
Children the world over already know<br />
Roland Harvey as the creator of the beloved<br />
Belvedere. Philatelists know him too. Some will<br />
recognise his name and realise that Kevin isn’t<br />
the first of Harvey’s koala creations to appear<br />
on a <strong>stamp</strong>.<br />
Roland Harvey designed and illustrated the<br />
joint commemorative <strong>stamp</strong> issues for<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> and the USA (Koala and Eagle,<br />
January 1998) and <strong>Australia</strong> and New Zealand<br />
(Koala and Kiwi, June 1998). He also designed<br />
the 40c Recreation <strong>stamp</strong> in the Living Together<br />
definitive range (February and March 1988).<br />
Children of all ages will agree that Roland<br />
Harvey’s passion for the bush and his desire<br />
to stimulate kids’ imaginations shine in every<br />
element of the <strong>stamp</strong>s and miniature sheets.<br />
They have an irrepressibly fun atmosphere<br />
that seems to invite us to enter the fantasy<br />
world and celebrate Kevin’s special day with<br />
his native animal friends.<br />
Books and <strong>stamp</strong>s share many qualities.<br />
They are enjoyed on many levels. They<br />
capture our imaginations. They tell stories.<br />
Just as a single book can inspire a lifetime’s<br />
love of reading, a single <strong>stamp</strong> can grab a<br />
child’s interest and start the process of<br />
6<br />
collecting, a hobby that can last a lifetime.<br />
Wherever Kevin and his mates find<br />
themselves: from well established collections<br />
to collections yet to be, their fun filled antics<br />
are sure to bring smiles to our faces for many<br />
years to come.<br />
Miniature sheets<br />
The miniature sheets – each with three of the<br />
six <strong>stamp</strong>s – show different views of the<br />
acivities and are designed to be viewed<br />
together. On the upper miniature sheet, Kevin<br />
Koala is the centre of attention. James Wombat<br />
and his mum take centre stage in the lower<br />
miniature sheet.<br />

Christmas Island Fungi<br />
2001 2001<br />
Fungi are flowerless plants. The larger species<br />
of fungi alone are at least as numerous as the<br />
flowering plants. Fungi grow in a beautiful<br />
diversity of colour and form. Completely<br />
lacking in chlorophyll, fungi are unable to<br />
photosynthesise their own food. Instead<br />
fungi feed by ingesting nutrients from dead<br />
or living organic matter.<br />
A mushroom or toadstool is the fruiting<br />
body of a fungus. The mushroom’s function<br />
is to produce spores and to provide the<br />
mechanical means for spore distribution.<br />
For fungi, spores, rather than seeds, are the<br />
means of reproduction.<br />
Different kinds of fungi prefer different<br />
habitats. Some grow only on dead wood,<br />
others around the base of trees, some only<br />
amongst grass or out of moss beds. In fact,<br />
fungi are found in almost all environments.<br />
Contrary to folklore, there is no simple<br />
test to determine if a fungus is safe to eat.<br />
Never taste a found mushroom unless you<br />
can positively identify it.<br />
The <strong>stamp</strong>s<br />
$1.00 Chaetocalathus semisupinus is a pale,<br />
delicate, small stemless mushroom that<br />
grows on the underside of rotting wood. The<br />
top of the cap is attached to the wood, so that<br />
the gills face down.<br />
$1.50 Pycnoporus sanguineus is sometimes<br />
called the orange-bracket or cinnabar<br />
fungus. It has a flattened, shelf-like shape<br />
and grows singly or in small groups.<br />

AIDS Congress<br />
Pre-<strong>stamp</strong>ed envelope<br />
10<br />
Sixth International Congress on AIDS<br />
in Asia and the Pacific, Melbourne.<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> 45c<br />
This pre-<strong>stamp</strong>ed envelope commemorates the<br />
Sixth International Congress on AIDS in Asia<br />
and the Pacific (ICAAP), being held at the<br />
Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre<br />
in October 2001.<br />
AIDS Congresses enable people to share<br />
experiences and knowledge, and help focus<br />
public and media attention on the growing<br />
severity of the epidemic.<br />
The theme of this congress is “Breaking<br />
down barriers”.<br />
Congress organisers say that “HIV demands<br />
from us all a unified response. No one person,<br />
government or scientist can do what needs to<br />
be done. They can only achieve real success<br />
when working with others. The barriers that<br />
stop us working together must fall.”<br />
The design symbolises the breaking down of<br />
barriers. The red ribbon is the international<br />
symbol of AIDS awareness.<br />
The envelope design was conceived and<br />
illustrated by Nigel Buchanan, Sydney.<br />

Christmas 2001<br />
Our Christmas 2001 issue features a modern<br />
interpretation of the late medieval illuminated<br />
manuscript, the Wharncliffe Hours.<br />
The designs by Beth McKinlay and Symone<br />
Lambert of <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong>’s Design Studio build<br />
on four exquisite miniatures from the manuscript.<br />
By using contemporary typography and<br />
design they have brought the traditional<br />
Christmas images into the modern era.<br />
The <strong>stamp</strong>s<br />

The aerogramme<br />
This design is also based on miniatures from the<br />
Wharncliffe Hours. The illustration area shows<br />
the Nativity. The <strong>stamp</strong> area shows the Virgin<br />
holding the baby Jesus. This image is taken from<br />
the initial ‘O’ of the prayer to the Virgin which<br />
begins ‘Obsecro Te’ (I beseech thee).<br />

The Wharncliffe Hours<br />
This illuminated manuscript from late fifteenth century France<br />
is one of the treasures of the National Gallery of Victoria,<br />
Melbourne.<br />
The manuscript focuses on prayers to the Virgin Mary,<br />
which are organised into sections to be recited at the eight<br />
canonical hours of the day. The book’s size, just 17.8 x 12.7<br />
cm, allowed its pious owner to carry it for personal devotions.<br />
The artist who painted the miniatures in this book is known<br />
only by the name of Maître François. A well-known illuminator<br />
of the time, Maître François decorated many other manuscripts<br />
for members of the French nobility. The Wharncliffe Hours was<br />
named for its later nineteenth century owner, the Earl of<br />
Wharncliffe. The book was acquired by the National Gallery of<br />
Victoria in 1920 with funds from the Felton Bequest.<br />

Melbourne, acquired in 1920 with funds from the Felton Bequest. This illuminated<br />
manuscript was made in France for the private devotions of an unknown patron.<br />
The text was hand-written in a cursive Latin script on fine vellum, a thin, light<br />
animal skin. Prayers to the Virgin Mary, to be recited at the eight canonical hours<br />
of the day, form the basis of the textual devotions. This beautiful manuscript is<br />
illuminated with forty-one detailed paintings or miniatures, the work of a<br />
celebrated artist known as the Maître François.<br />
Details of two miniatures from the Wharncliffe Hours,<br />
depicting the Adoration of the Magi and<br />
the Flight into Egypt, appear on the <strong>stamp</strong>s.<br />

Personalise your <strong>stamp</strong>s with life’s greatest moments.<br />
Sarah was so looking forward to Christmas.<br />
She’d had a busy year. She’d got a new baby brother, was<br />
flowergirl at her Aunty’s wedding, and she’d had to<br />
help Grandpa blow out the candles on his cake. And<br />
with all the cards mailed to family and friends here and<br />
overseas, she knew the wait was nearly over!<br />
