The post prompted my memory to look for an example I remembered from 1980's


Sadly I do not know it's whereabouts or contents.

The authors finally gather in Hobart to celebrate the book launch delayed by the pandemic

Co-author Allen Shatten signing the new book

Earliest recorded date of first 1d postcard PC1 supplied by Mark Lewis 10 January 1882

Almost 'collectors of yesteryear but happily still all with us.

Taken at Pacific Explorer 2005 with R Ewington, D McNamee, PGE Reid, M Groom and RL Askeland (all Esq.)

I recently discovered this significant flaw in the sky above mount Wellington on copy from plate 5 or 6 used in January 1912

Has anyone seen a similar example?

A scene of timber cutters posted at Premaydena and the message mentions cutting beams at Koonya - so I am guessing somewhere on Tasman's Peninsular?

Would value any information about this parade at North Hobart Oval in front of a group of dignitaries - maybe the Duke of York?

Courtesy of a local historian and resident of Eaglehawk Neck we have photograph of the studio and store of local photographer J.C. Harrison. This building also served as the Eaglehawk Neck Post Office for some years

A new ERD for KELLEVIE type 1 of 23 MR 1895 has moved the date by over 5 years.

I believe the letter cards with CTO cancels are probably for distribution to Parliamentarians or other dignitaries. The UPU certainly do not have any in their collection so I doubt they were sent to other UPU members. The Pictorial envelopes were sold out very quickly in 1898 and so I doubt that the...

TARLETON can now be listed as known used in 1892.

This postal card just sold on eBay Ties the previously unrecorded date stamp to BN 139

The message on the card refers to a delivery of coal and the only business operating at Tarleton in 1892 was a coal mine

I think Jerry is correct. I have seen it on parcels as part of a large roller cancel. I do not have any scans unfortunately but this example either reads 'No 6 ' as in numeral 6 or November 6

I believe that the hand stamp '4' was used at Macquarie Plains not Macquarie River.

I was almost going to suggest that Ross and Macquarie River were connected but Admins research is far more convincing

George D Brown was George Deas Brown a prominent Hobart lawyer and bibliophile who died a couple of years ago

Philatelic luminaries at Max Fry Hall,

Owen Ingles, Keith Lancaster, Trevor and Jennifer Ross and a vaguely familiar person at the end of the table (Tony Orchard or someone closer to home?)

I will try and locate the date for the Taylor's Bay postal card.

The '67' cover was written up by David McNamee in his collection as September 1854 but no day.

Also located this manuscript '49' for Kelly's Point which may be of interest.

Barnes Bay first allocation is recorded on cover as shown. Currently held in a US collection and was on display at New York 2016. I have also seen Taylor's Bay tied to 2nd allocation '99' on a 1d postal card in a London auction some five years ago but do not have a scan. I will try and locate an ima...

Help is sought. I am hoping this may be a West coast miners picnic or even at the races

Standard Kodak Post Card No. 5 back

An unloved cover found recently in a dealers stock reveals important information about the Riversdale post office just north of Swansea on the East coast. The office is recorded as opening on 1 January 1873 and is believed to have been allocated breed numeral '78' previously used at Sandspit before ...

I would take a guess at Waterloo Point
