I collect cancelled (with a readable town name) stamps of Australia both new and old.

I especially prize legible/decipherable cancels on Geo V or the Roos.

The hardest for me to come across have been cancels of stamps from towns in the Northern Territory.

I flew a helicopter up there around Arnhem Land, about 30 years ago. I would love to see your interesting cancels.

:D Those are some beauties and I appreciate your posts, when NT was part of SA and used the SA postage. I will post a mob of some I have collected and with the help of Premier Auctions website I have deciphered some more difficult ones. If anyone has questions on how to use this reference
Please ask me.I do have some duplicates I would trade. Thank you

:D That is perfect Paul. Roper River has been closed quite some time, I have an interesting one from there I'll share but it is CTO and not quitethe find yours was. Still it's still a beautiful cover and I prize the difficulty of just having a nice cancel from there Thank you
Regards Jim

:D !!Wow!! DW, those NT cxls on SA pre-decimals are wonderful. Top Camp, Powell Creek, Victoria River Downs are powerful examples of some very rare cxls and the first I've seen from those remote areas.

Do you believe Victoria River Downs is so vast an area,the cattle there are herded with a helicopter.

I never herded cattle up there but I was asked to herd/chase infected pigs(tuleremia??) and buffalo (brucellosis??) out of the grazing areas. Most of my flying was up around Jim Jim Falls, caught some great Barramundi out in the billoabongs of ArnhemLand.

I'll be posting some new (old pre-decimal) cxls in the next few days. Thank you very much for sharing these great cxls. Question for you, ??Have you seen any pre-decimal examples of Finke?? I've tried to find a Geo V or Roo from there I guess thats about as remote as it gets.

My last quest was for a Birdsville (up inn the 3 corner rea where SA, NSW & Qld come together) and I finally got a great one on eBay. Again keep those great cxls coming. Regards Jim

:D [b]Here are a few from my collection. DW any chance you also have some NT cancels on post federation Australian stamps. And, I know the Pom must have some, How about it Chris? Let's see some more of the SA/NT cancels! I got the Yarra River on eBay in a lot of about 50, I spotted the lovely Alice Springs cancel hidden in the lot and got it and the lot for about A$5.[/b]
