Australia week: Aboriginal Tjapukai warrior

Postcard

Aboriginal settlers arrived on the Australian continent about 50,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. These Aboriginal Australians lived with a strong dependence on the land, and also the water.

Each group developed skills for the area in which they would live. The Tjapukai aboriginal tribes inhabited the rainforests of North Queensland.

Stamp

Australia Post celebrated the 88th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II with the release of one domestic base-rate (70c) stamp and one international rate ($2.60) stamp.
