I am a retired Australian and this is how I spend a lot of my time, collecting stamps. My goal is to collect at least one each of the pre-decimal (mint or used) stamps of Australia and the same for decimal stamps with the distinction that I collect mint and postally used as side by side collections.

I believe, excluding the rarer roos (all the expensive ones) and an overwhelming number of variations, I have collected at least one of all the primary issues. Needless to say the decimal used stamps collection is beginning to falter as very few letters are being sent these days and therefore used stamps from 2021 have been very hard to source.

I also collect Christmas Island, Cocos Islands, Norfolk Island, United Kingdom and USA as they come my way.

My 'Other Countries' listed stamps are available for exchange (in noted in my 'Swap' list) for any stamps in my 'Wish' list. I would like to swap primarily for those elusive Kangaroos (if anyone has them?) but, as can be seen from my 'Wish' list, anything goes.

Exchange values by agreement and, if valued at US$50 or more, will be sent as tracked mail. Having a letter not arrive can be pretty devastating.
