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 />

David Maiden, Manager, Philatelic Group<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 />

A ring-tailed possum,<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 />

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 />

A leaping mother<br />

wallaby, joey in pouch,<br />

encourages her young<br />

clings to the ladder<br />

beside a little platypus.<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 />

Adoration of the Magi<br />

The miniature of the Adoration of the Magi,<br />

showing the three wise men offering the Christ<br />

child precious gifts, relates to Matthew 2, 1-11.<br />

Flight into Egypt<br />

This miniature relates to Matthew 2, 13-15. It<br />

shows Joseph leading an ass bearing the Virgin<br />

Mary and Christ child as they escape from<br />

Judaea into Egypt.<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 />

fifteenth century, is one of the treasures of the National Gallery of Victoria,<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 />
