Australia Post has this odd rule about only using stamps that have 'international' on them for overseas mail, so I'm guessing they must have other low denomination ones to make up for new rate changes.

Sunday stamps - the southern hemisphere
I looked through my (limited) selection of stamps from south of the equator, and was pleased to find this guy!

A weird and wonderful creature. I always enjoy Australia's wildlife stamps.
ReplyDeleteThey do have a high percentage of unusual creatures, don't they.
Deletequite possibly the funniest looking creature, ever!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a toss-up with the echidna.
DeleteI would say I prefer this photograph of the platypus as compared to the illustrated one that I've got ...
ReplyDelete...heading over to compare right now.
DeleteGreat stamp. I have a number of Aussie wildlife stamps but none match this.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think I didn't really notice it when I received the envelope.
DeleteI didn't know about this rule. But Iam not sure it is taken seriously, because I have received a lot of stamps that are not international. For instance this letter, or this one, etc.
ReplyDeleteI am glad they don't take it seriously. I would bet that if you go to a post office you get the international ones, if you do your own thing, they just accept it (or the machines do). And you have received some beautiful envelopes from Australia!
DeleteI didn't have enough time for my contribution, last Sunday so I am very happy that you posted my all-time favourite stamp!
ReplyDelete... Which I received more than once, a Dutch friend who now lives in Australia added it even more times on her envelope:

Thank you for this post, FinnBadger!
DeleteI didn't realize this was your all time favorite! And that is so many platypuses on one envelope - amazing.
