Even niet opgelet ??

Zie dat het al weer bijna een maand terug is dat ik at op mijn blog geschreven heb. Zou toch een dagelijks item zijn had ik me ooit voorgenomen. Nu kost dat FB ook veel tijd en als je dan nog wat groepjes beheert is het helemaal lastig. Vandaag, mooi weer, kippen binnen en ik ook.

Wat "troep" uitgezocht en dan kom ik veel dingen tegen die me dan weer weerhouden van efficiënt bezig zijn. Opruimen of zo. Laat vandaag een brief zien uit Australië van een oud collega bij Lavac ,laatstelijk in Cruquius.  Marc zat voor een half jaar of zo in Australië en hij was wat mooie cartoonzegels tegen gekomen. Was het iets voor mij ? Hij zag daar we handel in via mij. Denk niet dat ik er ooit een antwoord op heb gegeven. Laat de flop zien een een deel van de inhoud.

Maximumkaarten

Deze week een leuk pakketje kaarten en enveloppen ontvangen met kippenzegels, stempels e.a.

Laat vast een maximumkaart zien van de nieuwe Australische serie kippen. Heb er nog twee die komen nog. Hier zie je een paartje Australorpen.

Australian Poultry Breeds

Last week I did receive my first Christmas card from Irene, Australia. Maybe a bit early but it has his reasons. Inside a nice gift I want to show you here. It is about the chickens they have in Australia.

On the right you see Australorps, common in Europe too. the other two are called Australian Game and Australian Pit Game. Typical family of the old English Fighting chickens. My thanks for this nice blog and some single stamps.

 

 

Dogs

Very nice these Australian stamps with "adopted" dogs. These stamps were a belated birthdaypresent but still welcome. We don't have a dog, only chickens, some birds and fish in the pool. Almost all the nabers do have them and thats enough..... I don't have any idea what type these dogs are.

The stamp season is coming out, however I don't have that as a season, its alway's time for stamps for me.

Today a cover with some birdstamps in it. I did an exchange with a friend in Australia who received some stamps from me with chickens. Nice cancellation on this cover "Australian Fair" with also some birds on the cover.

Christmas Island

The Territory of Christmas Island is a small, non-self-governing territory of Australia located in the Indian Ocean, 2600 kilometres (1600 mi) northwest of Perth in Western Australia and 500 kilometres (300 mi) south of Jakarta, Indonesia.
It maintains about 1,600 residents who live in a number of "settlement areas" on the northern tip of the island: Flying Fish Cove (also known as Kampong), Settlement, Silver City , Poon Saan and Drumsite.
It has a unique natural topography and is of immense interest to scientists and naturalists due to the number of species of endemic flora and fauna which have evolved in isolation[1] and undisturbed by human habitation.
While there has been mining activity on the island for many years, 65% of its 135 square kilometres (52 sq mi) are now National Park and there are large areas of pristine and ancient rainforest.

Year of the Rooster 2005

Did get some nice presents for my birthday in may. One of them I like to show you. A great sheet (or big MS) from Australia /or and Christmas Island. In fact 3 stamps with chickens on them, of course a male chicken called rooster. The 50 cents and $ 1,45 I also have in the used version. The 25 cent I am looking for now. Maybe only issued in this sheet and hard to find. Do you know that, let us know.

Soccer

Great stamp, realy great, don't fit on a normal envelop. (diam. 17cm). Just an item for collectors and not to use on your regular mail. Like it, dont know if soccer is the biggest sport in Australia. Who knows?
