Australia 2005 : Sport Treasure FDC


SIR DONALD BRADMAN, LIONEL ROSE, MARJORIE JACKSON, PHAR LAP — four champions of Australian sports history. Evoking the magic of their achievements, the stamps feature valued treasures associated with each: Sir Donald Bradman's 1936-37 "baggy green", his first as captain of the Australian cricket team; the boxing gloves Lionel Rose wore when he defeated Fighting Harada in Tokyo, 1968, to claim the World Bantamweight tide; the custom-made kangaroo skin running spikes which helped Marjorie Jackson to victory in the 100 m and 200 m sprint double at the Helsinki Olympic Games in 1952; and racing silks in the colours of the mighty Phar Lap's trainer, Harry Telford.
