2025 The Rainbow Serpent 50th Anniversary Postal Numismatic Cover (PNC)

This highly collectable Postal Numismatic Cover commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of the classic children’s book, The Rainbow Serpent. Written and illustrated by the late Dick Roughsey OBE (a Lardil man from Kunhanhaa/Mornington Island), the book shares the deeply significant creation story of Goorialla, the great Rainbow Serpent.

The story tells of Goorialla travelling across the land, creating gorges, rivers, and mountains before finding his people. The cover is a powerful tribute to this enduring piece of Aboriginal culture and literature.
