To celebrate the beginning of the year 2000, Australia Post has produced a 'snapshot' of the nation - a special sheetlet of 25 stamps, each stamp featuring a photograph of an Australian resident. The faces for the stamps were selected following a national search. Members of the public were invited to submit photographs of friends or relatives whom they thought encapsulated 'a face of Australia'. The final 25 were chosen to replicate as closely as possible the demographic composition of Australia's population.
