Gday to all and sundry from sunny Queensland. Beautiful one day, perfect the next.
I havent collected stamps for 30plus years but the old boy passed on his stamp album after he headed off upstairs. He must have gotten a lot of them from his own dad as some go back a way.
There are stamps from all kinds of places - oddball locations like Tanna Touva, Togo, Sudan,Iran, Republique of Liberia, Tanganyika and all the usual places - UK, US, Europe and so on.
I started reading a little the other day and now am addicted! Incredibly interesting stories surround stamps in general and fascinating ones on occasion. In the album, there is for example a stamp of Adolf with a Berlin postmark. Who could have sent that letter one wonders and what were the words written in the letter!
Anyway i shall throw photos on from time to time, hopefully in the correct areas of the website for others to either enjoy my naivety or enjoy my luck! tehehehehe!

"In the Yiddish dialect of Hebrew, a cobber is a friend, comrade or good companion. In old Australian slang, a cobber is a good buddy, a pal ('ga day, cobber!)"
Dont worry, its friendly. At least its not like all those recent made-up expressions coming out of the US that noone comprehends. There is at least a heritage angle to most of our slang.
Sheepy, that farm of Mr White is epic! In the days before salt came through and ruined a lot of the pasture i see.
Gday Kapul. The weather must be ugly up north right now. I have buddies in PD sweating like old cheese apparently and more months of it to come. You must keep your stamps in the fridge?
