Last year I received a cover with three stamps from Australia. The one with the theme of airplane celebrates Freda Thompson - pioneer aviator, first Australian woman, who flew solo from United Kingdom to Australia. The trip took her 39 days, but 20 days of them was she waiting for a spare part for a damaged wing. The stamp was issued in 1994, 60 years after her success. For better depicting pleas click on the picture.
Next to this stamp is one of the five Christmas stamps from 1984, with price 40 cents. Shows the angelic figure from a glasswindow at St. Francis Church in Melbourne.
And the third stamp below is from very good known and nice definitive set of Australian birds, here it is 30c Pied Oystercatcher (Haematopus longirostris) from 1978. Unfortunately I don't own too much pieces from this set, I hope another comes soon :)
