Welcome!

Welcome to Focus - an edit ion produced as New Zealand emerges from th e cold w inter months, Kiw is throughout the country are now eagerly awa it ing summer and summer holidays !

For many, these hol idays are an opportunity for a T iki Tour' a gentle amble up and down the country, stopping for a cuppa and a chat to the locals along the way. You may have already gl impsed some of the joys of the Tiki Tour in the 24 stam ps that we released in August. Taking us on a journey from Cape Reinga in the north to Stewart Island in the south, they highli ght a del ightful collection of home -g rown fascinations. Don' t forget each product includes a FREE Al poster, so if you haven't boug ht a set or two already,l suggest you snap them up soon, as they'r e selling like hotcakes!

We'r e antici patin g a simila r response to a stam p issue to be released in Novemb er. It celebrates th e life of the late Sir Peter Blake, a New Zealander who was larger than life - an adventurer, a passionate Kiwi, environmentalist and nati onal hero.

News of Sir Peter 's unt imely death in 2001 shook the nation, and this stam p issue is one of many tr ibutes paid to this extraord inary man since then .

In mo re contemporary developments, I have a couple of exciting announcements to make. The first is our new five-year contract with the Niue Philatelic and Numismatic Company to produce, distribute and market all of Niue's postaqe stamps and collectable philatelic products. The result of an intern ational tender, the contract also reflects our two countries' special relationsh ip, founded on close historical ties, unique consti tutional arrangements and a common cit izenship and currency.

The second exciting development is our brand new REAL Aotearoa store, wh ich is just about to open on Grey Street in central Wellington. This means we now have stores in New Zealand's three main cit ies (Auckland , Christchurch and Well ington!. offer ing Kiwis and tourists alike an extensive array of stunn ing artworks that reflect the best of our country, our people and our stories.

These developments are great news for New Zealand Post, and are all par t of our commitment to deliver ing choice and excellent service to our custome rs in New Zealand, the Pacific and around the world .

Sir Peter Blake Sir Pet er Blake wa s a N ew Zealand nation al hero and a leg end in world saili ng. He led successful cam paig ns from New Zealand to w in the Am er ica's Cup and th e Wh itbread Round the World Yacht Race and j oi ne d a rare group of sa ilors to have won t he tw o prest igious prizes in w orl d sai li ng.

Sir Peter Bla ke wa s trag ically shot and killed by pirates at th e mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil on 5 Dec ember 2001.

Blake was 53. At the t ime he was lead ing Blakexped itions on a two-month environmental exploration trip in South America , monitoring global warming and pollution for th e Un ited Nat ions. Over 30,000 people attended a m emorial servi ce held for Blake at th e Auckland Doma in on 23 Decembe r 2001.

Warb lington churchyard, where he is buried ne ar Emsworth, Eng la nd, ha s become a place of pilgrimage for New Zealanders visit ing the UK. Peter Blake at home in the Southern Ocean by Peter Montgomery A couple of days before the start of the Second Whitb read Round the World Yacht Race in 1977. Peter Blake introduced me to Clare Francis. skipper of the British Yacht ADC ACCUTRAC competing in the race. [Yes, the same Clare Francis who has gone on to become a best selling author.1Clare explained to us she was going to do radio reports back to London. Peter , at that time the watch captain on Heath's Condor, told his co-skipper. Robin Knox Johnston. about Clare's plans .

Robin replied, 'W ell why don't two Kiwis speak to each otherT That casual aside was all it took to prompt the idea for Peter Blake to talk to me from his yachts when racing, for broadcasting in New Zealand first to radio then for television .

A casual com ment was the genesis of wha t became award-winning broadcasting, and the repor ting tem plate for future races. It also became the soundtrack for thousands of New Zealand liste ners following the fort unes of New Zealand yachts sailing in majo r races across the world .

Ceramco NewZealand was the first boat Peter Blake skip pered in the Whitbread Round the Wor ld Yac ht Race. In late 1980, he began an intense cam paign working up to the start in Septem ber of the following year. Ceramco sailed in the 1980 Sydney Hobar t Yacht Race and achieved the rare feat of winning line and handicap honours .

After the Sydney Hobar t. Blake wante d to introduce his crew to the Southern Ocean and prepare them for what was coming in the race nine mon ths later. Peter invited me to join the Ceramco crew on the delivery voyage from Hobart. Tasmania to Milford Sound. He thought it would be a good opport uni ty to let me see the Ceramco crew in action in rugged. tough conditions and try several ideas we had for radio reports . The plan was to sail a deep v, diving deep into the Southern Ocean heading towards the Auckland Islands before turning back up to Milford Sound. Half a day after leaving Hobar t, we were hit by a mugg er's fist from the west - a storm with wind over 60 knots whipping up huge seas. It was the first tim e I had seen the sea as big and as daunting. I descr ibed it as being li ke sailing in liquid Himalayas. The seas were huge, 15 to 20 metres and relent less.

Coming at us every two mi nutes , intimidating. foami ng white caps.

The sound of the fury of the Southern Ocean is a noise seared on my mind . It was like nothing else I have heard before or since. During this exhilarating . thrilling and often frigh tenin g roller coaster ride I reporte d back to radio in New Zealand . One day we screame d down the huge, steep seas. It was white knuckle stuff. I pull ed out my camera and took several shots of Peter and the crew at the wheel of www.nzpost.co.nzJstamps

Ceramco wi th nature in a hostile mood as the background lillustrated above!' The elemental forces were in full roar. It really was special and a week or a mon th later could not be repeated on the Hauraki Gulf or anywhere else. This picture is a special memory of a special man in a special place.

Peter told me he thought this picture captured him best in the environment he loved and that challenged him the most.

This is Peter Blake at his best. This is the Peter Blake I remember.

After the valuable experience in the Southern Ocean, Peter Blake and the Ceramco crew then concluded their build-up in New Zealand and Ceramco was shipped to the UK for the start of the third Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race in late August 1981.

For the firs t three weeks of the race, Ceramco was locked in a fascinating duel for the lead with the Dutch yacht Flyer. Then on 21 Septem ber 1981.just south of the equato r, disaster struck for the Ceramco crew. The mast broke and their dream had crashed down around them . But rather than wi thdraw from the race and feel sorry for themselves, Blake showed outstanding leadership and inspiration in sailin g a record 4,400 nautical miles under jury rig to Cape Town.

A new rig was fitted and Bla ke and his outstanding crew were back in the race for leg two to Auckland. Ceramco went on to win overall handicap honours for the two Southe rn Ocean legs from Cape Town to Auck land and then to Mar del Plata - leaving the haunting thought of wha t mi ght have been if they had not had the cruel misfortune to break thei r mast. But the outstanding leadership from Blake, backed by wonderful seamanship and the tenacity of his crew. became an impo rta nt part of the Blake legend.

Four years late r Blake skippered LionNewZealand to second place in the four th Whitb read, of 1985-86. Blake then used the lessons and his special experience from the first four races and put together the 'pe rfec t cam paign ', leading a brilliant crew to a stunning victory in the 1989-90 Whitbread race.

Blake skippered steinlager 2 to an unprecedented clean sweep, winning all six legs of the race. The Steinlager 2 campaign under Blake's leadership set a new standard in winning the prestigious race. His reputation as an outstanding skipper and leader was becom ing more impressive with every campaign . Peter Blake was special and was fast becoming a legend in New Zealand.

Matariki stamp launch

"

., ~ ~ --

On 24 June 2009, New Zealand Post launched the second in a very special stamp series - MatanKl, celebrating the arrival of a new Maori year.

On the evening before the new year dawned, the stamps were the much-anticipated focus of an Inspirational ceremony at the Rongomaraeroa Marae at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa .

What a night It was In an atmosphere buzzing with anticipation and ' excitement, the stamps were unveiled by Garry Nicholas, General Manager, Toi Maori Aotearoa - to a huge round of applause from the audience, who Included key stakeholders from the Maori community and dignitaries such as Wellington Mayor Kerry Prendergast.

With the formalities over, guests were treated to a feast of entertainment from rnusrcrans Richard Nunns and Mere Boynton and kapa haka group Nga Taonga Mai Tawhiti. As part of the two week -long Matariki festival, images of the six stamps were projected onto Te Papa's exterior walls to shine into the night. It was a fitting

way to welcome the new Maori year, and a superb tribute to the stamps' subject, the heitiki - an icon of Maori art, past and present.

The stamp series features three contemporary and three historic heitiki the former by Raponi, Rangi Kipa and Rangi Hetet, and the latter now housed In museum collections as superb examples of this traditional craft.

Maori designer Len Hetet worked with New Zealand Post to help create the 2009 Matariki stamp collection .

"It was a great challenge to work with this icon of Maori art In forms from the time of our ancestors through to todays Maori artists:' he said .

Other partners in the stamps' development include Auckland War Memorial Museum I Tamaki Paenga Hira - 50c heitiki image; Raponi - $1,00 heitiki carver; Rangi Kipa - $1.50 heitik: carver; Museum of New Zealand - Te Papa Tongarewa - $1.80 and $2.00 heitiki images; Rangl Hetet - $2.30 heitiki carver; Lewis Moeau te reo translator; Garry Nicholas - Toi Maori Aotearoa; Sidney [Hirini] Moko Mead - guest writer, presentation pack and The NewZealand Collection 2009; Ngahiraka Mason - curator, Maori art, guest writer, Limited Edition .

The China World Stamp Expo If we ever needed proof that the world of stamps is alive and kicking, the 2009 World Stamp Exhibition was it

' Held from 10 to 16 April In Luoyang, the' peony city' of China 's Henan Province, the Exhibition attracted more than a million visitors. It began With a spectacular opening ceremony featuring Sarah Brightman and Jackie Chan, and Included more than 3,200 framed stamp collections that Included the world -renowned 'Penny Black' from the British Royal Family A team from New Zealand Post proudly attended this amazing event - and emerged With a silver medal too' That's because, as well as having our own otlicral stand, we entered the Exhibition competition for postal adrrurustranons. Competing against entries from 29 other postal organisations, our two -frame exhibit titled 'New Zealand: A Land of Contrasts' showcased New Zealand's history, tounst attractions and more through stamps Issued in the past three years .

We were delighted that three international stamp and postal experts Judged It as deserving second place .

While this success was definitely the highlight for the team, the Exhibition was a fantastic opportunity to meet, network with and promote New Zealand to an immensely diverse group of people.

Alan Hollows, Design and Products Manager of the Stamps and Collectables Business, says the crowds around New Zealand's stand were constantly three people deep, with sales of New Zealand products exceeding all expectations.

'We sold out of almost everything we took with us! " he says.

"Many people commented that our stamps outshone those of others in design and quality, and a number were surprised to see New Zealand stamps celebrating the Chinese New Year. They particularly loved our more colourful stamps, With Sir Edmund Hillary and Mt Everest Iwhich the Chinese call Zhumulangmal notable tavountes ."

Given l.uoyanq's isolation, the team wasn't surprised at a general unawareness of New Zealand - so they were especially pleased to find that a contingent of volunteer helpers Included a group of young people who had studied at umversitres In New Zealand .

Judged a big success, the Exhibition was timed to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It also aimed to promote friendly relations and maintain close co-operation among international philatelists and stamp collectors, and to improve and develop China's philatelic culture. www .nzpor.t.co .nzlSlamps

Matariki 2009 - Heitiki

A Tiki Tour of New Zealand

2k June 2009 Signalled the beginning of Matariki - the dawn of a new Maori year In 2008 we produced the first In a very speciat series of Matarikl stamps which proved to be very popular with collectors and non-collectors alike This year we worked closely with a number of artists and MaOri orqarusatrons to bring you Heitikr, an ICon of MaOri art - past and present.

In other countries they might call It the 'roundabout way' to get somewhere.

Or the 'scenic route'. But In New Zealand It'S a 'Tiki Tour', and Irs the only way to go.

Whether carved recently, or In the past, from tradittonal pounamu Igreenstone!. pararoa Iwhalebone!. or the more modern manmade material conan, each heiuki featured IS a proud symbol of an art that originated centuries ago .

ThiS Issue builds on the success of the ICOOIC 2008 stamp release 'The A to Z of New Zealand', which was the most popular stamp iss ue in 2008 So we have decided to make this release available for two years .

To honour the rich heritage of the heitiki and its enduring place as a globally recognised symbol of Maori culture, we have produced a threepanel presentation pack , containing both English and te reo, by Dr Sidney [l-hnru] Moko Mead . Also available is a Limited Edition including insightful commentary from Ngahlr aka Mason INgai Tuhoe!. a foremost authority on MaOri art.

Stamps from Niue, produced in New Zealand

The Niue Defin it ive 2009 collection

In an exciting developm ent for New Zealand Post, we've recent ly signed an exclusive agreeme nt to design, produ ce and distribute stamps for the beaut ifu l Pacific island of Niue,

In September the first stamp coll ection produ ced throug h our new relati onship was released, With the them e of 'Und iscovered, Unspoiled , Unbelievable ', the Niu e Defin itive 2009 collec tion com prises 11 stamps, each providing a tantal ising gli mpse of Niue's stunning natural landscape,

For at least the next five years, we'll be work ing clos ely with the Niue Philatel ic and Numism atic Com pany [whic h issues Niue's stam ps on behalf of the Niuean Govern m entl to create stam ps of wh ich the country can be proud, It's a mission that we'r e especially pleased to accept, as Niue and New Zealand have a uniqu e and strong bond founded on close histor ic ties, uniqu e consti tutional arrangem ents and a commo n citizenship and currency.

The stam p ima ges range from gr acefu l coconut palms and panoramic coastlines to gr avity-defying rock form ations and jaw -droppingly gorgeou s sunsets, as well as a pr ivileged glimp se of a humpback w hale and the visual wonders that accom pany the snorkelling experien ce,

Amazingly too, New Zealand has a Niuean popu lati on that's 15 time s that of Niue itself - a factor that mak es our partnership a natural fit.

The collection also includes.., First day covers, min iature sheets and min iature sheet first day covers,

Undiscovered. Unspoiled, Unbelievable

If you've never been to Niue , make sure you put it on your list of

Just thr ee hour s' flight from, and 2,200 kilometres to the north east of, New Zealand, Niu e is a tropi cal island nati on nestled in the triangl e between Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Island s, It's often called the 'Rock of Polynesia' - perhap s because it's one of the world 's large st coral islands, with a terrain that comprises steep limestone cliffs along the coast and a central plateau rising about 60 metres above sea level. It's also almost com pletely sur rounded by a coral reef, with spectacular underwater limestone cathedrals that make it a snorkel ling and diving parad ise,

· ##-I'####~#######~####### # # #'

Hundreds of years of history Niue was originally sett led by Polynesians from Samoa around 900 AD, foll owed by people from Tonga in the 16th century, The first European to sight the island was Captain Jame s Cook in 1774- however, the inhabitants refuse d him permission to land , He named it 'Savage Island ' because, as legend has it, the people who greeted him were paint ed in what appeared to Cook and his crew to be blood, However, the substan ce was that of the hulahula. a native red banana , More than 100 years later , Niue wa s for a br ief time a Br itish protectorate, then in 1901 it was annexed by New Zealand , It was granted self-govern ance in 1974 and is now in 'free association' with New Zealand, w ith Queen Elizabeth If as its Head of State, Niue's sovereignty is exercised by the Niue Cabinet of Ministers comprising the Prem ier and three other min isters, who are all members of the nation's parliament, the Niue Legislat ive Assembly.
