Hi from Forth

[Potoroo]

Hi everyone. I was crazy about stamp collecting as a young kid but the interest died for about 45 years. I then took an interest in the Tasmanian Pictorials. My neighbour had revived his interest in collecting just a few sample stamps from every country in the world with a special interest in curiosities, dependancies and overprints Etc due to ever changing political situations. Discussing all this was what prompted me to look for a personal philatelic interest. I love learning about Tasmanian history and collecting Tasmanian Pictorial cancellations seemed to complement this perfectly. I'm not too fussed about the perfect strike. Just a new identifiable town or locality is exciting enough for me. Having said that, finding a good strike is nice. In 12 months I have managed to collect around 50% of the cancellation types and the whole process has been very satisfying.
