A Second Try: 2009 Australian Legends: Nicole Kidman
Well, this was my very first attempt at maximaphilly, and there was this dissatisfaction that I didn't get things done right -- so I was pretty determined to make this Nicole Kidman maxicard better :P
I've managed to get a Sydney International Airport postmark, commemorating her birthday - 20th June - and also the fact that her parents live in Sydney, and that she attended high school in North Sydney. The fact that she travels between Australia and USA adds some meaning behind the 'international airport' postmark, too.
What'd you think? Better? :P

Shanghai World Expo 2010 (18.05.2010)
This issue of stamps are released in conjunction with the Shanghai World Expo with the theme "Better City, Better Life". The building in the stamp on the left is the Australian Pavilion, and the right depicts the Australian Kookaburra bird "Pengpeng", also known as the laughing bird. Haven't seen a real one, but I'm sure it 'laughs' hence the nickname xD

2010 Olympic Winter Gold Medallist
These stamps feature Torah Bright and Lydia Lassila, Australian Gold Medalists in the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver this year. Torah's the champion in snowboarding and Lydia in freestyle skiing. Am slightly disappointed that the postmark isn't that good.
Lydia
Torah
Meantime, there's 1 extra maxicard in each of these: Come to the Show, Great Australian Railway Journeys and Colonial Heritage.
