The first bush babies series of stamps featured marsupials. He is sitting with a backdrop of golden wattle, waratah (a protea type plant that is also the emblem of NSW) and flowering gums. His flying friend is a cicada (which have certainly been sending a loud chorus around my neighbourhood these last few weeks!)

A delightful stamp. the Koala looks so relaxed.
ReplyDeleteA fun series. And I've seen that stamp before, but never noticed the cicada - thanks for pointing out that detail.
ReplyDeleteSame here! :)
DeleteI like how the detail forms a sort of hammock around the Koala bear, no wonder it is looking so chilled. As we don't have cicadas they always remind me of holidays
ReplyDeleteIt's always delightful to see a stamp from the Australian bush babies series. Thank you for naming the plant behind the koala :)
ReplyDeletethat's just such a cute stamp! Well I just LOVE koalas in general, they are adorable!
