Dear Collectors Welcome to another edition of the Bulletin. We are continuing to refine each edition and welcome any feedback you may have. As part of this process we have received a number of requests to include more information on upcoming national philatelic and numismatic trade exhibitions. We will endeavour to accommodate a number of these requests. © Copyright 2007 Australian Postal Corporation. All rights reserved. Australia Post stamp designs and philatelic products are subject to copyright and may not be reproduced without permission. All applications for the reproduction of Australian stamps should be made in writing to: The Manager – Philatelic Group Australia Post GPO Box 1777 MELBOURNE VIC 3001 Fax: 03 9204 7744 ABN: 28 864 970 579 The Stamp Bulletin Australia is produced by the Australia Post Philatelic Group and printed by Franklin Web, Sunshine VIC 3020 All information contained in this Bulletin has been included in good faith, on the basis that the products will be available for sale, until stock is sold out, at the prices stated, and in the manner described.

In this issue we cover the upcoming Sydney Stamp Expo 2007 to be held in June. Australia Post is happy to support the work done by the official organising committee and the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association (APTA) in hosting this expo. Australia Post will be producing a celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Sydney Harbour Bridge prestige booklet to be issued at this show. Also in this edition,“Talking Stamps” takes a look at the Australian stamp issue program in the first part of a two-part series. We are regularly asked why certain topics are featured on Australian stamps while others are not. We are also asked why we issue certain product configurations, etc. Through this series we will give an overview of the factors that shape the Australian stamp issue program. Our first new stamp issue in this edition celebrates Australia regaining the coveted Ashes. This cricket series had been widely anticipated by many Australians as well as loyal English cricket fans and marks a significant point in Australian cricket history. Unfortunately we were unable to announce the details of this stamp issue in the last Bulletin as the series hadn’t been decided at the time of going to press. While we endeavour to include all the latest information in each Bulletin, it’s worth remembering to check the Australia Post stamp web site regularly (www.auspost.com.au/stamps) for updates on stamp issues and other philatelic products. There are also new international stamps to cover the rise in the international postage rate that became effective from 5 March 2007. The stamps use imagery of some of the magnificent islands dotting our vast coastline. These islands offer visitors the experience of significantly different habitats from mainland Australia along with unique flora and fauna. Another special issue worth a quick mention is the Zodiac release. These stamps are designed to be fun and interesting and are ideal for birthday cards or invitations; or just to say something about yourself. Their special format enables them to be used in our Personalised Stamps service which will allow you to include your favourite image alongside your star sign! Until next time, Noel Leahy, Manager, Philatelic Group
