Lismore to Tenterfield Airmail Test Flight postage paid envelope
On 9 June 2020, we released a postage paid envelope (PPE) to commemorate the first government-sanctioned test airmail flight in Australia, which took place 100 years ago, on 26 June 1920. Lt Frank Roberts and Royal Mail contractors Walter and James Lynn flew an Avro 504K 105 kilometres, from Lismore to Tenterfield, via Casino, in New South Wales, to deliver around 8,000 letters. While the flight didn’t lead to a regular airmail service on this route, the federal government established regular airmail routes in remote parts of Western Australia and Queensland, commencing in 1921.
Wonder Woman stamp pack
On 16 June 2020, we will release a licensed stamp pack that focuses on the strong, immortal female warrior Wonder Woman, a founding member of the Justice League. Since she made her first comic book appearance in 1941, Wonder Woman has been a beacon of hope to all who find themselves in need. The stamp pack contains 12 $1.10 self-adhesive MyStamps, with colourful, motivational and action-packed graphics within the stamp designs.
Bluey stamp pack
On 30 June 2020, we will release a Bluey licensed stamp pack. Created by Brisbane-based Ludo Studio, “Bluey” is a nationally and internationally popular children’s television program.
