The recipients are: Peter Carey; Bryce Courtenay; Thomas Keneally; David Malouf; Colleen McCullough and Tim Winton. Two stamps were issued for each recipient identified here by being numbered each respectfully as '1' and '2', with the four stamp blocks being identified as "A"; "B" and "C".

A Bicentenary: Governor Lachlan Macquarie
Stamp Design: Stacey Zass - Product Design: Sharon Rodziewicz, A.P.D.S. - Printer: McKellar
This
release celebrates the importance Lachlan Macquarie (1762-1824) made to our early colony of New South Wales, he was Governor between 1810 and 1821, his vision began to carry the colony forward with his public works program, erecting churches, parsonages, courthouses, lighthouses, convict barracks and factories, which aided in transforming the fledgling colony into a working community. A former convict Francis Greenway, was one of those people responsible for designing many of these buildings Macquarie's vision called for, his designs included; the Convict Barracks, Sydney (1817); Fort Macquarie, Sydney (1817); the Government Stables, Sydney (1817); St. Matthew's, Windsor (1817); the Female Factory and Barracks at Parramatta (1818) and St. James, Sydney (1819). Macquarie believed that all former convicts (called emancipists) should be fully restored back into normal society as they would become valuable contributors to this society as 'free settlers.' Macquarie's policies had far reaching effects and were beneficial beyond his years and experience, he was a true visionary, and a great number of 'free settlers' contributed to the colony in a short space of time due to his polices, one group of 'free settlers' who comes to mind is the Cobroft family of the Richmond/Windsor area, who in many early musters were shown as 'free in store', meaning they were supplying produce to the early colony regularly and from records held in utter abundance, a picture of Sarah Cobcroft hangs in the Mitchell Gallery, although she was not a convict, her husband was.

Stamp Design: Disegno - Product Design: Jo Murè, A.P.D.S. - Printer: Energi Print
This
release brings to mind that in 2010 100 years will have passed since Australia issued it's own first coins as legal tender, before this time British pounds, shillings & pence and other world coins were used or modified for use within Australia (such as the Holey Dollar), the coinage act was passed in 1909, just over eight years after Federation, the new coins were then produced by the Royal Mint in London, mainly as Australia lacked the expertise required at that time as we did not have the designers, engravers or tool-makers at that time. the first coin produced was the florin (two shillings), the shilling, sixpence and threepence, all produced in 92.5% silver or what is referred to as sterling silver. Copper coinage (the penny and halfpenny) were not produced until the following year, the design on all the 1910 coins was the same, featuring King Edward VII on one side (called the head) and the Australian coat of arms (granted by King Edward VII in 1908), on the other (called the tail), this release commemorates the issue of these coins featuring the 1910 florin, with the 55c stamp showing the coat of arms or tail, which was designed by William Henry James Blakemore, the kangaroo and emu flank a shield, above which is the Federation star, although a redesign was effected in 1912 the original design remained on the coins throughout their production over the following years. The $2.75 stamp shows the profile of King Edward VII or head, designed by George William de Saulles, unfortunately Edward VII passed away two months after the first coinage (the florin's and shillings) reached Australia, the image of the new king, King George V then appeared on the production of the 1911 coins.
A miniature sheet was released and was embellished with silver foil, and printed with a four colour process and embossed, a stamp and coin cover was also released containing a $1 and the miniature sheet.

One hundred and seven years ago in December 1903, at Kittyhawk, North Carolina, in the USA, the Wright Brothers famously made the world's first sustained flight in a powered aircraft. Similar attempts were soon made in Australia, these Australian pioneers included George A. Taylor, who in early December 1909 along with his wife, Florence, made the flight in a Voisin-inspired glider, what was called a heavier-than-air machine, she became the first women to make a gliding flight in Australia. This issue commemorates three significant flights from Australia's early powered flights; for the first stamp with a value of 55c according to the Royal Aero Club of Great Britain, the first sustained controlled powered flight in Australia was made by Colin Defries an Englishman on 9 December 1909 at Victoria Park racecourse in Sydney, the plane was a modified Wright Modal A named 'The Stella.' For the second stamp with a value of $1.45
is an International stamp, it commemorates the flight by John Duigan, who on 7 October 1910 flew the first
self-designed biplane which flew 180 metres at 64kph at an altitude of
3.4metres at his family property at Mia Mia, Victoria. For the third stamp with a value of $2.10
another International stamp, on 18 March 1910 the American
'escapeologist' Harry Houdini made the first of several well-publicised
flights in Australia at Diggers Rest, Victoria, his aircraft was an imported Voisin, with his
name emblazoned on the tail, they were all released with gutter strips of 10.

This
release is a Joint Issue with Papua New Guinea, the Kokoda trail has always been remembered by Australians as a symbol courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice when Australian soldiers halted the Japanese invasion of Papua and New Guinea. During this campaign strong immovable links were forged between the Australian soldiers and the Papuans and New Guineans who were affectionately known as the 'Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels." The 'Angels' of Kokoda ferried the sick and wounded to safety, approximately 600 Australian Soldiers gave the ultimate sacrifice defending our country, the death toll would have been much higher if not for the contribution of these 'Angels.' To mark the 60th anniversary of Kokoda in 2002, a memorial was built at Isurava, where Australian forces had temporarily halted the Japanese advance, and this is the area in which Private Kingsbury won the Victoria Cross. Australian prime minister Mr John Howard and the Papua New Guinea prime minister Sir Michael Somare unveiled the memorial in August 2002. The issue includes four 55c stamps and one International $1.45 stamp.

release incorporates two current miniature sheets and also two new ones, the first two miniature sheets shown are unique as one incorporates the stamp issued this year for the Queen's birthday (2392) along with three previous stamps for the same event in past years, namely (stamp 2176) 18 April, 2008; (stamp 2291) 15 April, 2009 & (stamp 1975) 19 April, 2006, (I can only assume the perforation for all four are 14 x 14.4) Stamp/Product Design: John White, A.P.D.S., the second unique miniature sheet is of the Centenary of Powered Flight (issued 9 March, 2010) and incorporates two stamps in a four stamp block 2 x 55c & 2 x $1.45, (again can only assume the perforation is 14.6 x 13.86), Stamp Design: Ethos - Product Design: Adam Crapp, A.P.D.S., in a combination that had not been previously issued. The remaining two sheets were both issued in 2010 and are the 2398-1-1 MS $5 Colonial Heritage miniature sheet, (with perforation 14.4 x 14), Stamp Design: Ethos - Product Design: Adam Crapp, A.P.D.S., although I have given this one a sequence number change & the 2402-1-1 MS $2.10 Great Australian Railway Journeys miniature sheet, (with perforation 14.4 x 14), Stamp Design: Melinda Coombes - Product Design: Jo Murè, A.P.D.S., I have given this MS Sheet a sequence number change, all four miniature sheets were issued with the LONDON 2010 Festival of Stamps with a logo in gold. It is most likely the perforation for all four sheets is 14 x 14.4, once my digital perforation checker is working again I will confirm.

release is the third issue of Through the Years, the first was on 15 August, 2006 with Driving - Through the Years, the second was on 16 October, 2007, with Caravanning - Through the Years. The issues are a general look at what was popular in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's & 90's, a gutter strip was also available. Personally I did not get out of the 70's until my knee went and I couldn't surf anymore, although I had been surfing since the 60's at Wanda, which means I was weird because I lived in the western suburbs, so I was supposedly a rocker, not a surf.

Canonisation of Mary MacKillop
Stamp/Product Design: Adam Crapp, A.P.D.S. - Printer: McKellar Renown
This
release celebrates the fact that Mary MacKillop became our first canonised Saint on 17 October, 2010, born Mary Helen McKillop on 15 January, 1842, at 24 years of age she along with a priest founded the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart in Penola, South Australia in 1866, tensions between the Bishop of Adelaide and the sisters over the rule structure led to Mary being excommunicated in September 1871, this was lifted less than six months later, she then traveled to Rome in 1873 to seek approval of rule structure of the order, returning a year later without approval. Tensions continued to grow between the Church and the sisters, but by 1877 they have 40 schools running, and in 1883 opened a school in New Zealand. Pope Leo XIII approved the Sisters of the Sacred Heart in 1888. In 1902 at 60 years of age Mary suffered a stroke and was confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of her life, she passed away seven years later on the 8th August, 1909, at the time of her death 117 schools existed, she was by all accounts a very remarkable lady.
