The following pictorials have all been in use for nine or ten years, so will not be available for much longer (unless replaced). Issue year shown, and date last sighted.
Just wondering I am going to Canberra tomorrow (Friday), beyond the GPO and Parliament does anyone know any pictorials in the ACT? Preferably fairly close to the centre as I cannot drive.
For anyone interested: Parliament House P.O. (which was already closed by the time I got there, having restricted hours when Parliament is not sitting) has a special posting box specifically for their pictorial postmark. (I’ve seen photos of these from overseas, but didn’t expect to see one here). Remains to be seen if it will work. Both designs at the GPO are still available.
Don’t want to clog the forum too much, but does anyone know when (or if) Morpeth NSW dropped their pictorial (Great North Road)? Went today but the staff were… very unreceptive.
…‘My most recent date for Morpeth is 2018, wrote to post office last year for an update but got no reply. I’m pretty sure the dateline expired and the PO didn’t bother to renew it.’
If memory serves me correctly the 2018 Morpeth strike was sent to me when I wrote in 2019. So either the PO forgot to alter the date, or 2018 was the last year that would show on the date wheel.
Thank you all for the Morpeth info. Pity about that, I have some family connections there.
Got a copy of the now-abandoned Katoomba pictorial today. It’s really beautiful - I’m going to write to ask them to reinstate it or one similar; there is after all an official address for that sort of thing.
(Buckley’s of that but if I don’t ask…)
