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.

3d – Corroboree Frog
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.

6d – Banded Anteater

Superb Fairy Wren
The superb fairy wren is one of the brightest birds we get in Victoria. Even though there were heaps of them at Healesville getting a photo was challenging. These small birds flit around, free to come and go.
