Not really.. I gave up on seriously collecting when Aust. Post turned into a Souvenir Factory (just like the Mint's doing now), before the interwebz arrived. But Google is, as always, your friend.

As for Trove, I've been wandering about in there today, and (re-)discovered a few things. Did you know Churchill's son died the same day as Robert Kennedy, 45 years ago today? They share the front page of The Canberra Times on Jun 7, 1968.

Spent a few hours last night looking through the stamp forum- incredibly interesting but could be more frustrating than coins.!! I discovered that early Australian stamps have just as many flaws as coins but seem a lot harder to pinpoint.!! One thing is for sure- when you are a fanatic with your hobby it can be all consuming.:shok: p.s. did I notice a "Unicorn" lurking in there.??

No, Robster, not yet ...... may well have to lurk later though, sounds very interesting. (Don't tell me someone has used the name Unicorn in there.....bugga).
Geez, think of the number of stamps with Australia on them!

Yes, there is a Unicorn over there, I was sure it wasn't you as his Questions and answers were not in the slightest bit humorous.!
