13 September, 2022 I have ceased listing every change or correction,since May last year, Covid has been interesting, and I am
sick of it, stop the world I want to get off now, I am in the process of checking, updating or correcting every
link on the system, for some reason every email link, fell down, along with a great many internal links,
this is fun, NOT!
26 May, 2021 Although I have been making changes and adding bits and pieces here and there I have not listed those changes
here on this page, most of the changes were updates to links and minor spelling errors, hey, I am far from
perfect, just ask my wife. Today I have started checking each and every page, as the site has moved to a new
server. this will most likely takes weeks if not months.
16 October, 2020 I have been working on the Territories, information and images since March, mainly AAT, Christmas Island,
Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and Nauru, information has been caught up to the normal issues in 2011, images
not so much as one of my flash drives has died, taking many hundreds of images with it, so its back to the
drawing board and many late nights scanning, although the new scanner is a dream to use.
4 February, 2020 Just had my right knee replaced, this is fun, NOT, the website is listed to 2010, working on 2011 now, have made
a lot of corrections and I am working on a great many more.
8 December, 2019 Well that was fun, I have been locked out for a week, new authentication protocols in place and I am back in again.
The old website builder fell down at the beginning of 2019, it then deleted pages from 1998 on, information, scans,
everything. So after ten months of late nights, the New look website up to 1998 was loaded
on 12 November 2019. And the fun continues, I am updating all the information I can lay my hands
on, but trying to sort through the mountain of info that is just plain wrong is a nightmare.
Late December, 2018 through early January, 2019 My Health has stopped me doing a lot of things, this website included,
But I am kicking again, spent most of this time scanning and listing the last of 2009 and two thirds of 2010.
28 February, 2018 Oh, yeh team, I have been unable to gain access since August, but I am back in now.
20 June, 2017 Just published a huge amount of info concerning Papua and New Guinea, hours of work, no images yet, but
they are being formatted and numbered as well
14 June, 2017 Since the resumption of the work on the website my health is up and down like a yoyo, I am listing all the
additional information I can find, I have been working exclusively on the Territories for the moment, the
information listings for Papua New Guinea is almost complete, along with listings for the other Territories,
once these are caught up to the current catalogue listings I will update all sections on a daily basis until I
have reached the current date.
4 May, 2017 Just changed this page, so the new listings are non top, now I will be starting where I left off when I got
sick, with the Territories and bringing them up to date with the rest of the cattle dog.
3 May, 2017 Changed the Welcome page some, still working on the logos as they do not want to change it seems.
May, 2017 Ok, I have been very intermittent in my changes for almost two years, mainly due to health reasons, with the loss
of my prostrate or most of it, I am back on the road to recovery, although the recovery has taken almost a year.
August, 2015 All basic issues for 2009 listed, now working on 2010, the special issues can wait until I catch up.
September, 2014 All images to 1992 complete for Christmas Island, plus a few minor fixes.
7 August, 2014 Due to a glitch in the builder I have had to replace 1997 in total, so all 1997 links are no longer working I am
correcting them and reformatting the page and all links as I go, this will not be a quick fix as I have to identify
each link first.
29 July, 2014 Images for AAT to 2005 now listed, Christmas Island to 1976 now listed, working on the rest and waiting on
stamps through the mail to complete sections, also a disc of images from one of my many supporters.
25 July, 2014 Multiple sections of information to AAT, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands & Norfolk Island entered,
images for AAT up to 1996, formatting images for Christmas Island and Coco now, I am waiting on conformation
from Norfolk Island to list their stamps as they are a separate body to AustPost.
16 July, 2014 An update to 1990 with two Specimen stamps added, updates to images on AAT and information on Christmas
Island and the Cocos (Keeling Islands.
5 July, 2014 A great deal of information and listing to 2003 are listed for Christmas Island and the Australian Antarctic
Territory, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands are listed to 1988, images will follow when I finish formatting them,
although I will probably finish listing the rest of the Territories first, two people recently supplied me with
specimen stamps from the 1990 Sports issue.
23 June, 2014 Have published sections for both the A.A.T. and Christmas Island.
22 June 2014 Have shelved 2009 for the moment and I am listing all the Territories, having the info set out so I simply need
to type it in.
20 June 2014 Published an update to 2009 all basic entries to 14 July listed. Now have over 6,000 images listed on the website.
14 June 2014 1998 and 1999 are complete, along with more of 2009.
27 May 2014 I have been unable to do much on the cattle dog as the PC has been giving me grief, currently while I assemble
the images needed for 2009, I am adding information I already have ready to listings from the early 1980's to
the early 2000's, as I list them and publish I will advise here of the updated areas, 1997 has been completed.
27 April 2014 2009 complete to end of March now published.
27 April 2014 A few additions and some extra's including a Christmas Island sheet, signed by the designer included in Unusual
stamps.
14 March 2014 We are back, I changed providers and got screwed, so I am rebuilding, we have been off air for over a month
in one form or another.
28 January 2014 Making a series of corrections, very quickly as I am about to change website providers, money exchange is about
the same but if I can believe it no more black holes, which I can do without, then I will have to start again and
proof the site I hope without any of the problems.
22 January 2014 Without exception almost every page has had a correction or addition, mainly because the builder seems to have
decided to remove sections indiscriminately, I will have to proof read every section and check every image, I am
currently working on this problem and it seems it will take some time, luckily I have hard copy to work from as I
backed everything up and printed each page after the last nightmare.
14 January 2014 A number of corrections from 1913 through to 1970 complete and published.
10 January 2014 All basic issues listed working on SESS sheetlets now and overprinted booklets where I have images ready, I am
also continuing to put either or both of the GO TO TOP and NEXT buttons in place at the bottom of all pages.
29 December 2013 Oh this is fun, NOT, half of 2008 just up and vanished, at least the information is still there, but the images are
gone, I had five images missing so tried to relist them, caused the rest to fail and disappear, relisting the latter
half now.
26 December 2013 The builder appears to have problems as it keeps changing the font's and colours by itself, not to mention a
number of images vanishing, the problems is affecting 2006, 2007 & 2008 and I am not sure why.
25 December 2013 I have been trying to get 2008 basic issues completed by December 25th, no such luck, a number of things have
prevented this not the least being programs that are falling down, the problem appears to be external, so I am
running diagnostic programs while I work on the website trying to identify the problem source, I have narrowed
it down to FireFox or my website provider or both.
23 December 2013 Working on 2008 I have come across a number of details that are iffy at best, I am composing an email to a
contact in AusPost for clarification, she is very good so I should have the info soon, for now I will list the areas
in a blue with "to be advised" in place.
9 December 2013 A minor correction to 2007, plus Themes completed to and including 1992, working on 2008, information and
images.
8 December 2013 That's 2007 complete as far as I can see for the moment, a couple of images missing but nothing I am concerned
about as most are Prestige booklets or pages there of.
7 December 2013 I have finished the ordinary issues for 2007, still finishing the SESS sheetlets now, plus a number of additions I
did not have for 2003 (prestige booklets), currently also formatting images for 2008. There is also a large
additions to the 1970 Famous Australians, with many thanks to Karen Pleash from Queensland for the excellent
images.

for 2007 as well.

on the remainder now, a small number of SESS sheetlets have been added for the year 2000, plus a lot of
information for 2007 gearing up for listing the rest now along with the images.
5 September 2013 A number of corrections and additions, two new unadopted designs from 1938, plus working on 2007, some
additions to the 1994 Advance Bank issues (namely the test sheet) and the 1996 issues of the standard release
sheet, thank you Ken from Queensland for the images.

counter printed range 1999 to current, 2007 template started formatting images at the same time.

them, I just need to find and scan them, starting work on 2007 now.
5 August 2013 Almost all main images for 2006 listed, working on the SESS sheetlets now, currently have none of the NRL
Sheetlets, but working on that too!
31 July 2013 A great number of missing images listed (especially those from 2005), 2006 well on the way with all
Commonwealth Games stamps listed (all 107 of them), 2006 is proving fun as a number of my images have
self destructed and I now have to rescan them, seems my formatting program was corrupted, all fixed now
and starting again.
19 June 2013 2005 Formatting complete, a number of images still missing, but will add them as I scan them, 2006 is proving
a challenge 107 stamps just for the Commonwealth Games Gold medal issue.
18 June 2013 Have finally started working on the catalogue again, as my internet connection has been too unstable to publish.
26 February 2013 A number of corrections across the board, plus a correction to 1981 and the Wildlife links on the Themes page.

of page links that have ceased to work, probably since the transfer to the new dedicated server.

working on it now.
18 January 2013 After re-publishing another page has vanished, this times in Themes, I have replaced it with a temp run, will
complete as I can either someone is accessing the site without permission or the publisher is deleting sections.
17 January 2013 About a week ago my website provider advised they were moving this site to a dedicated site, great, after
completion, 8 pages were missing (1998, 99, 2000, 01, 02, 03, 04 & 2005, with 100's of scans, so I rebuilt those
pages, formatting is not finished yet, but I re-published so the information was on-site as least, the website
went down again, they moved me to another dedicated site, oh joy, this time two pages are missing, but it
won't let me re-list as fast this time, fun and games, 1993 & 1994, information is online, images are following
now, should take a couple of days, then I will complete the formatting for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 &
2005.
31 December 2012 A lot of updates 1986 to 2005, most of the information for 2005 and all images I currently have available,

continue to list this range, but I have no images past this point, with a number missing in 1996, 1997, 1998,
1999 & 2000, I have also made a number of spelling corrections, many thanks to Steve Irwin Quality Stamps
for the Counter Printed images and to another mate Steve for the proof corrections to the spelling and
wordiness, I will now go back to listings 2004.
31 May 2012 2003 published along with all details of SESS sheetlets (all images I could lay my hands on) and Counter Printed
stamps (images coming in the future), some booklet images are missing but I will try to source them if I do not
have them in my collection, it is possible I do, but I would prefer to get the remaining pages published then look
for them.
22 May, 2012 Have completed the SESS sheetlets to and including 2002, I am also listing the Counter Printed range although I
only have two sets (but well over 60 different literals were printed from 1994 to the current date.

Australia, I am uploading & formatting all images now, all images will be incorporated into the catalogue, joining

blank lines in 2002 (numbered 1 to 73), they will only be up for a limited time.
(well I tried, but no luck, I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, we will see I suppose).
24 March, 2012 More corrections and additions from 1980 through to 2003, mostly gutter strips, miniature sheets and
overprinted items.
20 March, 2012 I have added a guest book to the system, a number of missing scans are now listed from 1980 through to 2002
as I have been able to resurrect a number of images from the old backup dive, I am working on preparing these
now and listing them, images found are across the board, I just wish I had been able to find more information,
but all text appears to have been deleted, a majority of images are unusable, but considering I had over 4000
images on the drive, 10% on average is a good result, but this result has taken me many months of work to find
and no sooner had I transferred them of the drive, the drive died completely and my system will no longer even
read it exists, let alone read it up, so it is dead, it will make a good wall hanging and talking point.

1986,1987, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1998, 1999, Australian Wildlife Series 7 created (these are the counter
