1641142 Minisheet Australian trains cross the continent east to west and south to north, covering great distances over often isolated and difﬁ cult terrain. They also cover much smaller distances in rugged and precipitous mountain country. These trains were once the primary means of linking isolated settlements with more populous centres. 1641003 First day cover (self-adhesive) The issue showcases great Australian trains that traverse inaccessible places of Australia. Some, like the Indian Paciﬁ c, cross the continent from east to west, traversing thousands of kilometres, while others, like The Ghan – celebrating its 81st anniversary this year – link Adelaide in the south with Darwin in the north.

As well as these long-distance railways there are the shorter Kuranda Scenic Railway in northern Queensland and the West Coast Wilderness Railway in Tasmania. Both these engineering feats 1641013 First day cover (minisheet) opened up previously inaccessible country and recall the importance of the railway to remote Australian settlements. 1641210 Roll of stamps Today it is hard to imagine how difﬁ cult the country was. In the (200 x 55c) case of the Indian Paciﬁ c, for instance, there were no permanent fresh watercourses, which was a real problem for steam trains. Bores and reservoirs had to be established along the line, the water often proving unusable. As a result trains had to carry their own water supply. 6 | stamp bulletin australia | no. 304 | May–June 2010

1642201 Sheetlet of 10 x 55c

The Shanghai World Expo 2010 takes place from 1 May to 31 October 2010. The theme of Expo 2010 is “Better City, Better Life”, with participants from over 190 countries displaying and engaging with ideas of urban development and culture. In 1800 just two per cent of the global population lived in cities; in 2010 that ﬁ gure is estimated to be 55 per cent. Various sub-themes, including diverse cultures, science and technology, and economic prosperity will explore blueprints for future cities.

It is expected that with more than 70 million visitors, Expo 2010 will be the biggest world exposition in history and the largest event held in China since the 2008 Olympic Games. The Australian pavilion, designed by renowned Melbourne architecture ﬁ rm Wood Marsh, evokes Australia’s ancient landscape. Hosting an array of exhibitions, the Australian pavilion offers a program of diverse cultural experiences. The welcoming Australian kookaburra mascot is named “Peng Peng” in Mandarin, which translates as “friendship”.

Shanghai, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River on China’s eastern coast, is not only the largest city in China, with a population of over 20 million people, but is also the largest commercial and ﬁ nancial centre in mainland China and boasts the biggest cargo port in the world.

55c ...... Police 55c ...... Fire 55c ...... Ambulance 55c ...... Call Service

This stamp issue is designed to heighten public awareness for phoning Triple Zero. It has been estimated that in approximately 60 per cent of cases people who phone 000 do so for the wrong reasons.

In Australia, Triple Zero (000) is the primary national emergency number. It puts Australians in contact with the police, ﬁ re and ambulance services during a life or 1645002 First day cover (gummed) property-threatening, time-critical emergency.

Knowing how to call Triple Zero in an emergency can be the difference between life and death. There are three key messages to remember when calling Triple Zero. These are: – stay focused – stay relevant – stay on line. It is essential the caller tells the operator the emergency service required and where they are calling 1645003 First day cover (self-adhesive) from. Remembering these instructions ensures the caller receives the right emergency service in the quickest time possible.

In 1961, the ofﬁ ce of the Postmaster General (PMG) introduced the 000 number in major population centres, and near the end of the 1980s extended its coverage nationwide. The number “000” was chosen for several reasons, one of which was zero is closest to the ﬁ nger stall on Australian rotary dial phones, so it is easy to dial in the darkness.

Marine wildlife makes Macquarie Island one of the most remarkable places on Earth. Each spring and summer, millions of marine animals come ashore to mate, lay, pup and moult. There are no terrestrial native mammals on the island, with Southern Elephant Seals and fur seals being the only mammalian representatives.

Macquarie Island is also a critical breeding ground for seabirds and delicate plant systems. In recent years rabbits and rodents have caused serious damage to the island’s ﬂ ora and fauna, particularly its 1646013 First day cover (minisheet) burrowing seabirds. The Macquarie Island Pest Eradication Project is due to commence in mid-2010 and aims to eradicate rabbits, rats and mice from the island. Geologically unique, Macquarie Island is one of the few places in the world where the oceanic crust is exposed above the surface of the sea. The climate is wet, windy and usually cold, with an average temperature of around four degrees centigrade. No trees or shrubs can withstand the island’s harsh environment; vegetation is dominated by grasses and megaherbs, with mosses and lichens also abundant.
