Dear Collectors Welcome to our first edition of the Australian Stamp Bulletin for 2012 after a very busy close to the previous year. I’m sure you all made the most of the Christmas break, as I did.

Before we take a closer look at the first stamp issues for the year I would like to revisit November 2011 and the release of the ANZUS stamp issue. This commemorative stamp was produced to recognise the very significant visit to Australia by the Honourable Barack Obama, President of the United States of America.

An official state visit by the President had been planned for some time but was cancelled on two previous occasions due to issues of state. The uncertainty made plans to commemorate the visit extremely difficult given the print timelines of both the Bulletin, and more importantly, the 2011 Annual Collection of Australian Stamps.

The decision for the visit to occur in mid-November was to affect the timing of both publications, which had already been printed.

Philatelic would release the commemorative stamp issue without having a sample included in the Annual Collection but this historic event was too important and needed to be recognised officially. The stamp will be included with the 2012 Annual Collection of Australian Stamps.

Looking ahead to the coming stamp issues there is quite a variety of themes, including our 2012 Lunar New Year stamp issue. We anticipate a high level of interest in the stamps this year as we celebrate the Year of the Dragon. This year’s Australian Legends stamp issue will celebrate the achievements of sporting heroes from the different football codes in Australia. What collectors won’t know until the issue is released in January is the identity of those selected for this honour.

Capital City Transport, Farming, Technology – Then and Now and a range of new stamp designs for use with social mail in Precious Moments offers a diverse range of subjects and design styles. There’s really something for everyone.

We also bring you the results of the Stamp Poll from 2011 and the opportunity to settle those debates that I’m sure collectors just love to have regarding the favourite stamp and stamp issue of the year. The poll covered the gummed stamps featured in our voting entry form and the online entry page.

Happy Collecting

Michael Zsolt Manager, Philatelic

Lunar New Year - Year of the Dragon

60c Illustrative dragon

$1.80

Chinese symbol for Dragon

1713142 Minisheet

The stamps show the development of the Chinese character for the Dragon, shown fully in the $1.80 stamp, and the way it is derived from its pictorial representation, shown in the 60c stamp. Paper cut motifs are used to represent the Dragon in the 60c stamp. Paper cuts are one of the most popular forms of Chinese art and are commonly used to decorate windows, lanterns, mirrors, gates and walls during the Chinese New Year celebrations. The Dragon occupies a special place in the Chinese zodiac, being the only mythical creature among them.

This is the perfect keepsake for babies born in the Year of the Dragon. · Lets you record baby’s details. · Complete with uncirculated coin.

Lunar New Year - Year of the Dragon

1713252 First day cover (zodiac)

The miniature sheet tells the story (in Chinese and English) about the helpful, soft-hearted Dragon who, although expected to win the race because he could y, only came ďŹ fth because he stopped during the race to create rain to break a severe drought and then aided the rabbit, a fellow competitor, by gently blowing him across the river on a raft. There is a special gold foil overprinting on the stamps, minisheet and zodiac sheetlet.

Legends 2012

Who will be the Australian Legends for 2012?

The Australia Post Australian Legends Award stamp series has become a collection in its own right.

Since 1997 Australia Post has honoured eminent Australians as part of the Australia Day celebrations.

The Legends stamp issue will be released on 20 January 2012.

ANZUS

60c ANZUS

1710002 First day cover (gummed)

This stamp issue was released late in the 2011 program to commemorate the State Visit to Australia of the Honourable Barack Obama, President of the United States of America.

During his visit from 16–17 November, President Obama visited Canberra, where he addressed Parliament, and became the first sitting US President to visit Darwin. This final gummed stamp in the Australian program was not included in the November edition of the Stamp Bulletin or the 2011 Annual Collection of Australian Stamps due to the time restraints in the production of both publications and the late notice of the announcement of the State Visit.

Australia and the United States enjoy a strong partnership in many areas including trade and investment, science and technology collaboration and security cooperation. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Australia-United States Alliance under the ANZUS Treaty, which was signed

by Australia, New Zealand and the United States in San Francisco in 1951 and entered into force in 1952.

1710220 Maxicard

Technical details

The stamp shows the military representatives of the ANZUS countries gathered in Honolulu for the first meeting in 1952: Lieutenant-General SF (Sydney) Rowell (left), Australian Chief of General Staff, is greeted on his arrival at the airfield

by Admiral Arthur Radford, US Commander in Chief Pacific (right), and Major-General Gentry, New Zealand Chief of General Staff.

Navigation

The technological revolution of the 21st century has touched the daily lives of most Australians. Mobile phones have revolutionised our daily communication. Unlike fixed-line phones, today’s 4G phones can provide a myriad of functions including internet, video and audio, enabling us to be connected globally.

The modern refrigerator can be equipped with entertainment devices such as a high-definition LCD screen and FM radio.

This is a far cry from the ice chest which kept food cool, through insulation rather than electricity, and relied on the ice man for deliveries of ice.

Public television was introduced to Australia for the 1956 Olympic Games. Early units were relatively small and

transmitted in black and white for limited periods. Today‘s flat-screen television sets are much thinner but have enormous screens compared to early units, and increasingly, transmissions are digital rather than analogue.

It is now common to have several TV sets per household and transmission is 24 hours a day.

Not so long ago listening to music involved placing a vinyl record on a turntable. Now digital media players are portable, compact and have a huge storage capacity. Printed road maps and street directories are becoming a thing of the past since the introduction of global positioning systems (GPS).

Transport is a favourite philatelic thematic. It is also an integral part of urban infrastructure. Various forms of transport have evolved in Australia’s cities.

60c The O-Bahn Bus system in Adelaide – The O-Bahn Bus system in Adelaide, the city of churches, is among the longest busways in the world, travelling along a dedicated, concrete, guided track.

60c Ferries in Sydney – Ferries are at the heart of Sydney’s transport system, tracing their roots back to the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788. They carry more than 14 million customers annually across one of the world’s most stunning harbours, passing notable landmarks such as Luna Park.

60c Trains in Perth – Transperth operates a Free Transit Zone on public transport within the Perth CBD and includes its trains, which are notable for running alongside the freeways.

60c Trams in Melbourne – Melbourne is home to the largest tram network in the world and trams form a distinctive part of the city’s character. The W-class tram is one of the most loved and recognised trams in the system.

60c Double-decker trains in Sydney – For over 150 years, the CityRail network has played a critical role in the provision of transport services for Sydney which is noted for its doubledecker trains, some of which cross the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge.
