Koala (Maximum Card) (joint issue)
This unused maximum card could as well be listed under “PR China” as it was part of a joint issue with Australia in 1995 and text on the back makes it clear the card was produced in China. However the subject, the stamp, and the Melbourne postmark are clearly Australian. Grade: 1

Code: 20601171
Price: $6.00

Port Arthur (Tasmania), M.V. Marana and the Penitentiary
The vessel was launched in 2002 and it seems the highlight of any cruise on it is seeing this penitentiary. The card is unused. Grade: 1

Melbourne Zoo, Meerkats
Winsome little animals, and it’s easy to see why some people wrongly want to keep them as pets. If they are to be in captivity, meerkats are far better off in Melbourne Zoo. Grade: 1

Price: $4.00

2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics (Maximum Card)

Price: $5.00
Fair Dinkum Aussie Alphabet (Maximum Cards) (set of 5)
A set of five unused cards, and at least you can see parts of each of them in our scan. Issued by Australia Post, each card has pre-printed postage for worldwide mailing. We’re not certain why they chose the letters ACLRT but if not these, then what? Grades: 1

Code: 20601191
Price: $19.00
VK5-S.W.L. (QSL Card)
Mailed in 1934, with stamp and postmark. Either the sender or the receiver added a short extra note on the reverse. Nice for QSL postcard collectors. Grade: 2

Code: 20601192
Price: $6.00
Launceston, Tasmanian Chairlifts ticket – multiple views
Half of this item is a postcard (the photo), and looks like a postcard on that reverse. The other half — connected as you see in the scan — is a used chairlift ticket, with two holes punched in it to indicate that it was, in fact, used in 2016. The back part of all those terms and conditions is a map of the area, labelled with places of interest. Can’t give a conventional grade, but common sense says: Grade: 1

Code: 20601193
Price: $3.00
Launceston, Tasmanian Chairlifts ticket – single view
Half of this item is a postcard (the photo), and looks like a postcard on that reverse. The other half — connected as you see in the scan — is a used chairlift ticket, with two holes punched in it to indicate that it was, in fact, used in 2016 at this Tasmanian tourist destination. The back part of all those terms and conditions is a map of the area, labelled with places of interest. Can’t give a conventional grade, but common sense says: Grade: 1

Code: 20601194
Price: $3.00
Victoria, London Bridge
We’ll take the caption’s word for it that these photos were taken one day apart. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 20601202
Price: $2.00
Port Arthur (Tasmania), church ruins
The caption on this unused card says, laconically, “The church at Port Arthur was built in 1835, but never consecrated”. Wikipedia has a great entry about Port Arthur itself but skirts around the story of the church. Worth reading. Grade: 1

The caption on the back of this unused card explains everything. Grade: 1

Code: 20601204

Price: $2.00
Tasmania, Mt Wellington
Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20601206
Price: $2.00
