A SCAMP ON A STAMP!
Brand New Ginger Meggs Centenary Stamps from Australia Post
In September, Australia Post celebrates 100 years of the distinctive and ever-youthful Ginger Meggs. Its commemorative stamp issue features the work of three of the stellar cartoonists who have illustrated Ginge since he made his entry onto the pages of Sydney’s Sunday Sun in 1921: Jimmy Bancks, James Kemsley and Jason Chatfield. The handsome young Ginge appears not just in the stamp designs but also in a host of philatelic products, including a minisheet, stamp pack, first day cover, a maxicard set and two stamp and coin covers, housing coins produced by the Royal Australian Mint.
Celebrating a century of Aussie adventure!
