The prepaid envelopes and stamp pack can be used together as a New Year Greeting.

According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, the Year of the Rooster runs between 28 January 2017 and 15 February 2018. For Chinese people around the world, Lunar New Year is not only a time of renewal, but also a time for family dinners, exchanging gifts and enjoying public festivals and celebrations.

The flamboyant Rooster is the tenth sign of the Chinese Zodiac.

The Rooster is considered persistent and reliable, especially as they are the announcers of the new dawn.

Plus, according to Chinese legend, it was the Rooster that coaxed a hiding sun back into the sky and returned warmth to the world.

Those born under the Rooster sign are often confident, observant, resourceful and courageous. The honest and hard-working Rooster likes to be surrounded by others.

Britney Spears, Cate Blanchett and former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd were all born in the Year of the Rooster.

Norfolk Island

Waterfalls

Cascade Creek is one of Norfolk Island’s few permanent streams.

Along with its tributaries, its catchment area covers almost one-fifth of the island and is an important home for native wetland flora and fauna. When it rains, high flows produce two main waterfalls: Cockpit Waterfall and Cascade Creek Falls.

Cockpit Waterfall is located inland, around 100 metres from the sea. Also known as Cockpit Falls, it is located within Cascade Reserve, an area of more than 30 hectares along the northern coast of Norfolk Island. Cascade Creek flows past Cockpit to Cascade Bay, resulting in Cascade Creek Falls.

Gary Domoney, Visua

The heart and the red rose have long been symbols of steadfastness and devotion.

The 13th century French poem Roman de la Rose identified the rose with romantic passion and in 1794, Scotland’s bard,

Robert Burns, famously compared his sweetheart to this exquisite bloom.

Jetties dot our coastline and service fisherman and pleasure craft users.

Many of the countless jetties and piers that punctuate Australia’s coastline and waterways were originally built to moor vessels transporting goods and passengers.

While some have since fallen into disuse, others are still popular for recreational fishing, diving, snorkelling and other tourist activities.

Busselton Jetty, located on Geographe Bay in Western Australia, is the longest wooden jetty in the world, originally built for the transportation of timber.

A railway now carries tourists to an underwater observatory at the end of this historic jetty.

A jetty at Tumby Bay on the Spencer Gulf in South Australia was first constructed in 1874 to facilitate the shipping of anticipated supplies of copper from nearby Burrawing Mine. The current jetty was constructed in 1908–09 and is now a well-known fishing spot and scuba diving destination.

The picturesque jetty on secluded Shelley Beach lies near the resort town of Portsea on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. The small jetty near Kincumber, New South Wales, is situated between Kincumber and Davistown on the Brisbane Water, an estuary in the Central Coast region north of Sydney.

75th Anniversary of the bombing of

Darwin PSE

On 19 February 1942, mainland Australia was attacked for the first time when Japanese forces mounted two air raids on Darwin. The first attack, which occurred just before 10am and lasted 25 minutes, involved hits on shipping, infrastructure, military and civil aerodromes and the city of Darwin. In the second raid, which began around 11.45am, the Royal Australian Air Force base was bombed. The attacks killed around 250 allied personnel and civilians and several hundred were wounded.

Many of Darwin’s civilian population fled, fearing imminent invasion, however the Japanese aim was only to destroy Darwin’s potential as a base for a counter-offensive in the event of their invasion of Timor. In the following months there were 97 air attacks on northern Australia, including 64 on Darwin, before Japanese forces were pushed back.
