Australian Parrots Creatures of the Slime PHILATELIC HIGHLIGHTS Key stamp issues This year’s philatelic issue program celebrated some important national anniversaries, including the Centenary of the Australian Open tennis championships, and the 150th Anniversaries of the Eureka Stockade, Australian Railways and the First Australian Coin. In January, the Australian Legends Award stamp issue honoured the achievements of six leading Australian fashion designers – Prue Acton OBE, Jenny Bannister, Collette Dinnigan, Akira Isogawa, Joe Saba and Carla Zampatti AM. Olympic Games stamp issues By far the most publicised philatelic release of the year was the stamp issue that celebrated gold medal victories by Australian athletes during the Athens Olympic Games. Each of the 17 stamps was printed overnight following each gold medal victory and made available to the Australian public within 48 hours of the athlete appearing on the winner’s dais. On-line business The number of visitors to the Philatelic website increased by 117 per cent this year. By 30 June 2005, the site was receiving 87,000 hits per day. In April, we launched Personalised Stamps on-line, which means domestic customers can purchase Personalised Stamps via the Internet for the first time. New products We introduced a range of new products in the memorabilia and collectables market this year, including: ° SNAPSHOT! – the world’s first personalised booklet ° a limited edition Centenary of Rotary International imperforate sheetlet ° special event sheets to celebrate the AFL premiership and Brownlow Medal presentation ° a series of 12 zodiac booklets representing each star sign ° a collectable coin to celebrate the birth of a baby ° a booklet called Australia and War – the Story in Stamps ° a vintage Mickey Mouse print collection ° a prepaid Christmas card boxed set ° a series of souvenir stamp sheets celebrating the range of Disney/Pixar films. Pacific Explorer Stamp Expo Thousands of visitors attended the Pacific Explorer World Stamp Expo in Sydney during April 2005. Held over four days under the auspices of the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP), Pacific Explorer is the only international stamp show of 2005. Some of the world’s rarest and most valuable stamps were on display at the Expo, including the multimillion dollar Tapling Collection, which was on loan from the British Library. Representatives from 34 countries – including stamp dealers, auctioneers and postal administrations – were in attendance at Pacific Explorer. Awards Australia Post was awarded the bronze medal in the 2004 Olympia Prize, which recognised the most beautiful stamp issues released to commemorate the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. The future The Philatelic Group will pursue improved financial returns through appropriate product expansions, improved inventory management and a reduction in warehousing and distribution costs. There will be an important focus on learning more about the needs of collectors through the introduction of a relationship management program. This will involve analysing customer behaviour and preferences and using direct mail to deliver relevant information and offers.
