To open my mailbox like someone opening a surprise box and to feel the pleasure of discovery unleashed by an envelope decorated with stamps.
To be part of the world and also to discover it this way, with the help of those who share this vision.

Melissa sent me Postcard 22 in an envelope, a gesture I do appreciate. Thanks Melissa.

The stamp used on it is part of a 4 stamp set issued on 22FEB21 (0,20; 2,70; 3.40; 3.50 AUD), celebrating 4 of the 66 RAMSAR sites of Australia. The Riverland Wetland in the State of South Australia is the site featured on the 3,50 AUD stamp.

Ramsar is the name of a city in Iran, where in 1971, an international convention for the protection of wetlands and of their resources was signed. Having entered into force in 1975, it has already adopted by almost 90% of the UN states.

The machine applied cancelation tells us that the cover was processed in Dandenong Letter Centre. Victoria. Machine No 453, on the 23rd June at 22h10. Sadly the cancelation is skewed, so the very nice vignette cannot be fully appreciated, but it shows an indigenous art drawing with the slogan ".... indigenous communities" any help regarding the exact wording of this slogan would be greatly appreciated, so if you happen to know how it fully reads,  drop a line in the comments box. Thanks.
