the place where Paleontology and Paleoanthropology meets Philately
Catch them if you can
This presentation provided by Vera Radnell, Australia
"My name is Vera Radnell, I am also known as VeraBird due to my interest in ornithology which later caused me to
become a bird stamp collector.
Although I had stamps from a very young age it wasn’t until I joined a local stamp club when I formalised my
collection and learned about exhibiting.
Being a member of Thematics Queensland I was able to learn the tricky rules of thematic class
philately and here you can see my five-frame exhibit which has been
awarded GOLD and various other medals over the years.
To exhibit in Thematic Class means you have a story to tell using the widest variety
of philatelic material available.
My story is in support of wildlife and tells the story from the beginning of mankind in his pursuit of
wild animals. I hope you enjoy my story and I wish you well in philately."
A skilled hunter uses many resources in the pursuit of wild animals. Since pre-historic times when hunting was a necessity for survival, to present day recreational hunting, man continues to develop methods of capturing pray.
Come join in the chase to try and catch them if you can.
