The smallest of the wallaby family, the Parma Wallaby. This little relative of the kangaroo is nocturnal and lives in dense forest undergrowth. They are so elusive that they were long thought to be extinct until a colony was discovered on a New Zealand island as a pest. Then they were rediscovered in their native habitat!
The Healesville Sanctuary’s mosaic replica of the 1932 1 shilling (1/-) Lyrebird stamp. These mosaics were created by artist Simon Normand
The replica 5½d Emu stamp from 1942 at the Healesville Sanctuary. The replica is a giant mosaic created by artist Simon Normand.
Another giant stamp mosaic by Simon Normand at the Healesville Sanctuary, a 6/- Gippsland Water Dragon. This is another one that I haven’t been able to find a “real” version of.
The 9d Kangaroo stamp from 1960 replicated as a large scale mosaic by Simon Normand at the Healesville Sanctuary.
Another replica stamp in mosaic form by Simon Normand at the Healesville Sanctuary – the 11d Rabbit Bandicoot.
The 1/- Platypus in the Healesville Sanctuary collection of mosaic stamps by artist Simon Normand.
A mosaic replica of the 1937 6d Kookaburra stamp in the Healesville Sanctuary. The mosaic is a part of a collection of works created by artist Simon Normand.
Healesville Sanctuary’s giant stamp mosaics were created by artist Simon Normand, this one is a 8d Tiger Cat. This is a replica of a stamp from 1960, and the Tiger Cat is now known as a Tiger Quoll .
Another of the Healesville Sanctuary’s giant stamp mosaics created by artist Simon Normand, a koala in a tree. This one looks like a version of a 1930s stamp.
Another of the Healesville Sanctuary’s giant stamp mosaics created by artist Simon Normand. This one shows a swimming echinda (gawarn). Again, this looks like a fictional stamp rather than being a copy of a real one. I had to resort to 1s 2d rather than the more normal 1/2 as you can’t use “/” in file names.
More of the Healesville Sanctuary’s giant stamp mosaics created by artist Simon Normand. This one shows two 3d Corroboree Frogs. This looks like a version of the 1982 3c Corroboree Frog rather than being a copy of a real stamp. But I’m happy to be proved wrong.
