Hi John
I think you have mis identified my postmark, HOBART is at the bottom, not on the top as in your example.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Mike,

Sorry I should have looked closer rather than faster. It is the Hobart Registered Type 1 cds with circle stops. "Registered" at the top and "Hobart" at the bottom. Sorry about the delay in replying as we have been working outside landscaping our new home. Retired but never busier.

This is not a postmark question but a route question. I am trying to determine the route requested to England. In the upper left it reads "p 'Simla' / via ??". Would appreciate help deciphering the route. Thanks.

I keep looking at this and wonder if the route is "via Melbourne"?
