On this site, I will post all my other miscellaneous items which I have collected over the years. I can't say there are many but to some these are considered as junks or garbage but to me, it's a collectible. Some of these came from the family or through inheritance and that is why I am keeping them. Whilst my heading for this site is Australia Postal and Numismatic covers, I have stopped collecting them as to me, it is not that attractive to collect anymore. I hope you like them as much as I do.

If you see any blank spaces on this site, please remove the "http://" or "https://" on your URL and hit enter again. Thanks

Australia Post 200 Years $1 coin, Part l
Former convict Isaac Nichols was appointed the country’s first postmaster on 25 April 1809. From an office in his Sydney home he took charge of all mail in Sydney, and put an end to people fraudulently obtaining letters and parcels from incoming ships. According to Governor Macquarie, Nichols was “a most zealous, active and useful man”. Nichols continued as postmaster until his death in 1819.
