****  Updated November 2018 ****

Closing the year of the bicentenary of the building of Macquarie Lighthouse, Australia Post is launching  an exclusive collector pack of only 200 copies. 




CONTAINS


Minisheet with the 4 stamps of this release of 2015

1968 Macquarie stamp.
In my personal opinion this is by far, the best item of this collector pack


Minisheet with 4 of the 5 stamps of 2006 release
Point Lonsdale is the missing one.
Minisheet with the 4 stamps of 2002 release

The Lighthouses of Sydney Minisheet of 2018 
Again the 2018 Lighthouses of Sydney in a new minisheet


There are only 200 copies availables.  The cost is around 65 u$s.  There is something that I do not understand. You build a very exclusive and expensive compilation, but incomplete. Where is the  "Point Lonsdale" stamp?
And this is something very interesting to follow.  Will this item sold out soon?  Wich will be the value at internet auction sites? The launch was in november 5.  I write this on november 10 and still there are copies availables.
Are we,  the lighthouse stamp collectors,  more than 200?
Just jocking...

Thank you very much Klaus for the alert
