The 1966 Oz Antarctic set.

A lovely colourful, well designed set,
that always gets snapped up at auction.
One of the nicer sets of the Oz Catalogue IMO.

Nice stamps, Rodney!

I worked for 12 years in meteorology (in a measurement lab, but also in
expeditions), so that some of the stamps reminded me the old times (that
were always good, isn't it?).

I am surprised there have been no SNA issues in this regard.
Perhaps taking into consideration, meteorology was a waste
of time according to my Grandad,
He could always predict the weather, by the pain in his joints :0)

In SNA we haven't a real Meteorological Service, because the weather is
quite stable. This is the reason why such stamps aren't in big demand. My
forecast for tomorrow July 25 look like this: the temperature will be again
around 40 degrees Celsius at noon and 5 degrees at midnight; no wind, no
rainfall, no clouds.

BTW, do you know how to recognize a meteorologist (in any country)? It's
very simple: he always carries an umbrella with him...

I found them all the more interesting under UV light. All that
orange phlorescing!

I'll keep that in mind, when I finally secure one.
Prices are still extremely high at the bourses here.
eg
Stanley gibbons watermark detector $280
UV Light (small handheld) $60

I spent my allowance on stamps
