This exclusive bundle brings together three highly collectible Postal Numismatic Covers (PNCs), each honouring Dorothea Mackellar OBE (1885–1968) and featuring one of her iconic poems.

Each PNC in this bundle includes a pictorial envelope and a 2025 Uncirculated AlBr 50c coin, along with a commemorative inner card presenting the full text of its featured poem. With only 7,000 of each PNC produced, this bundle is a rare opportunity for collectors and lovers of Australian literature alike.

This bundle includes:

• Dorothea Mackellar – My Country 50c PNC: Featuring Mackellar's most famous poem, "My Country," first published in 1908. This beloved work expresses her profound love for Australia's vast and often challenging landscape, a poem that has resonated with generations of Australians.
• Dorothea Mackellar – Dawn 50c PNC: Showcasing the evocative poem "Dawn," first published in 1911. This piece captures the serene beauty of an Australian sunrise, inspired by her experiences near Gunnedah, New South Wales.
• Dorothea Mackellar – Colours of Light 50c PNC: Presenting the poem "Colours of Light," published in 1914. This work celebrates the vibrant and intense hues of the Australian landscape, contrasting them with the more subdued colours of England.

Dorothea Mackellar, born into a prominent Sydney family, drew much of her inspiration from the Australian bush, particularly her brother's farm in Gunnedah. Her nationalistic poems, alongside those of contemporaries like Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson, helped shape Australia's literary identity by finding beauty in the unique Australian environment.

Each stamp and cover design in this collection is expertly crafted by Jo Mure, Australia Post Design Studio.
