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

Centenary of RMC Duntroon 1911-2011

Centenary of RMC Duntroon 1911-2011 $1
In 2011, the Royal Military College (RMC) at Duntroon celebrating 100 years of preparing officers for services in Australia's permanent military forces. Following Colonel William Throsby Bridges 1908 report on the Minister of Defence on the operation of military colleges in the United States, Britain and Canada, Bridges set about establishing the RMC on a former sheep station near Canberra named "Duntroon". The first buildings were constructed by mid-1911, and on 27 June the Governor-General, Lord Dudley, officially opened the RMC. Its first commandant was Brigadier-General William Throsby Bridges, as he was by then known, and under his eye the initial 32 Australians and 10 New Zealanders began their training.
