Australia’s First Military Convoy Sets Sail In the wake of Britain’s declaration of war on 4 August 1914, the Australian government mobilised 50,000 men, many of whom joined the convoy that departed from the port of Albany in Western Australia. The fleet set sail on 1 November 1914. At that time, it was the biggest flotilla of vessels to have ever left Australia. The convoy that departed from King George Sound consisted of 39 ships, carrying approximately 30,000 Australian and New Zealand troops. The year 2014 will mark 100 years since the departure of this convoy, which carried the Australian Imperial Force and the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, who would later become known as the ’Anzacs’, from King George Sound at Albany, to join the allied forces in the northern hemisphere. Design features a list of the 39 ships that sailed from Albany’s shore.

John M. Mercanti Design

The Majestic Eagle Found throughout mainland Australia, Tasmania and southern New Guinea, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle is Australia's largest bird of prey and one of the biggest eagles in the world, with a wingspan of up to 2.7 metres, and a long, wedge-shaped tail and feathered legs. This majestic bird is known to soar through the sky for hours on end, frequently reaching altitudes of up to 2,000 metres. In the heat of the day, the eagle makes use of hot thermal air currents that drift up from the ground to reach these dizzying heights, whilst expending little energy.

Stunning golden eagle struck in high relief.

Australian Bush Favourites The Australian bush is characterised by the familiar sights of the kookaburra, kangaroo, and koala. The kookaburra is fondly known for its distinctive call which sounds similar to human laughter, and can be heard echoing through the trees at dawn and dusk. Kangaroos can be found across Australia from cold-climate areas and desert plains, to tropical rainforests and beaches, travelling vast distances in search of food and shelter. Like the kangaroo, the koala is also well-adapted to the country's dry conditions as they do not actually require water to drink. Receiving all the moisture they need from eucalyptus leaves, koalas spend most of their time in these trees for this reason.

Three of Australia's most loved bush creatures come to life in stunning high relief.

Second Coin in the Series!

The Diamantinasaurus Roars to Life! The Diamantinasaurus is a titanosaur which is a group of plant eating sauropod dinosaurs that existed in the Late Cretaceous Period. Fossil remains were discovered in 2005 near Winton, central Queensland by a local landholder and recovered from what was once an ancient billabong by the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum. The dinosaur was nick-named Matilda, after ‘Waltzing Matilda’ the world famous song by Australian poet, Andrew Barton “Banjo” Paterson – the scientific name Diamantinasaurus matildae meaning Matilda’s Diamantina River lizard.

The prehistoric glory of this ancient dinosaur captured in vivid colour.

Twelfth Doctor to Complete Your Series!

The Twelfth Doctor Produced in Great Britain by the BBC, Doctor Who depicts the adventures of a time travelling, humanoid alien known as the Doctor. Along with a succession of companions, the Doctor faces a variety of foes while working to help those with whom he comes in contact and right wrongs across the universe. Taking the series into a new era, Peter Capaldi retains some of the character’s finest characteristics – he’s still brave, heroic and drawn to danger. And he still sees humour in the direst situations! On the other hand he has a dark side, not to mention ‘attack eyebrows’!

Design features the newest reincarnation of the Doctor, Peter Capaldi.
