Waterfalls of Australia

Hi ! In today's post I have some beautiful issues on Tourism from Australia issued on 8 September 2008 to take you in a holiday mood as this is a time of great celebration and holiday making in many parts of India with the start of Navratri festival.The philatelic exhibitions have also started with Gandhi Jayanti in different parts of our country. We have received news from our distinguished member Mr. Rakesh Walia from Chandigarh. The detailed news is given below with a nice photo. Recently I received a letter by post from a Reader of Goa asking me to send Starter kit for stamp collection. It is really nice to receive letters and E-mails from you. But we dont have such items to send as this is e-stamp club. The idea of this club is to bring philatelists from different parts of the world at a common platform and share ideas and information with each other. However we are trying our best to provide information for collectors of every age group and interest. We do not receive much information from the readers of South India though there are good number of readers from South than North India which shows their inclination to this hobby. It will be a great pleasure to publish the news of philatelic activities from South India. So readers from South India are most welcome to send report from their area. As this e - stamp club acting as a bridge to connect philatelists living in various parts of the world. In our regular series some remaining se-tenants on Buddha theme from the album of Mr. Shrikant Parikh. This is all for Today !.......Have a very Nice Time!......
