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

Year of the Tiger 2010 (14 February)

Year of The Tiger 2010, $1

The courageous Tiger, the third sign in the Chinese zodiac, is associated with fearlessness, generosity, authority and unpredictability. According to legend, the Jade Emperor of Heaven called for a contest to invent a way of measuring time. All the animals of the kingdom were invited to cross a swiftly flowing river and reach a designated spot on the opposite bank. The first 12 would gain a permanent place in the zodiac. The Tiger earned third place by daringly running across the backs of the other animals, reaching the river bank after the cunning Rat and the Ox.
