@cfwriter @ncushing12 @statelibrarynsw @GraceKarskens What a night out that would be

[Mark Dunn @markdhistory]

@Briony_Neilson @drnaomi Happy to see it going global. Hope it is digestible for a world audience. Dare I ask what you are presenting?

[Mark Dunn @markdhistory]

@nenieb @Uni_Newcastle And just when we thought Newcastle couldn't get any better. Still excited about this Jeannine and congratulations again.

[Mark Dunn @markdhistory]

@drnaomi @nswarchives Congratulations Naomi. You join in interesting times for State Records

@ncushing12 No doubt Ozzie the Mozzie will be featured?

[Mark Dunn @markdhistory]

@shaun_bes good point. I didn't think they were postage but maybe propaganda style for corporates to add to corro.

Anyone seen these stamps before? c1932 to spend Australia's way out of the Great Depression. Tucked into a file of letters. Colonial and capitalist imagery all in one #twitterstorians

[Mark Dunn @markdhistory]

@DictionaryofSyd Good question. Nothing on back but in a very Oz file from 1932. Sailing ship gives it a British/Aust colonial feel.

[Mark Dunn @markdhistory]

@ncushing12 Don't they though.

[Mark Dunn @markdhistory]

@ScottsoWales And graphic, in a colourful design sort of way

@history2wheeler @SydOperaHouse @Joideverve_x You should have said hello, we were grooving to the Pixies and their encore

@subbyvalentine @cfwriter @2ser @DictionaryofSyd @alex_jamesy @SydneyClio @history2wheeler To be clear, I think I said James' cook was Scottish. He was quite fond of Hawaiian pizza I believe

[Mark Dunn @markdhistory]

@cfwriter And that's me, in the cowl with hand on face thinking 'did I follow the style guide?'

@HstyMattersSyd @TanyaEvans14 @history2wheeler @seamuseum_ @maramawhyte @SophieLoyWilson @UsydSoH @MuseumMinx @SaywhatNathan @cclperkins @Dr_Bre_Fallon @SydJewishMuseum Easy as when you have such an attentive and interested bunch of students to talk to
