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

Governor Lachlan Macquire - 1810 to 1821

Governor Lachlan Macquire, A Bicentenary 1810-1821 $1
Two hundred years ago Lachlan Macquarie (1762-1824) arrived in the colony of New South Wales. During his term as governor, Macquarie provided an important vision of the colony. He not only physically changed the appearance of the colony by building churches, convict barracks and lighthouses, he also believed that former convicts, known as emancipists, should have all their rights reinstated and be fully restored to society.
