Well I couldn't decide whether to choose Australia or New Zealand for this week's Sunday Stamps so I ended up selecting a stamp from both. The first stamp if from Australia and depicts Christmas 1957. I am normally a firm advocate of keeping Christmas in December, but this seemed like an opportunity not to miss.
Christmas 1957, Australia
The second stamp is from New Zealand, and is an 8d stamp from New Zealand, c.1986, from the Peace series, and shows a Knight holding a banner depicting the Cross of St George - from the stained glass window of the Wellington College Memorial Hall.
Peace, New Zealand, c.1946

ReplyDeletethanks for participating!
I'm impressed by the New Zealand stamp - appropriate for Remembrance week.
ReplyDeleteAustralia has a great history of producing attractive Christmas stamps.
