Parma Wallaby
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!

4d – Koala
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.

1s 2d – Echinda
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.
