Three of Australia's most renowned and beautiful beaches are featured on this new international stamp issue.

The Bay of Fires in north-eastern Tasmania is located within Mt William National Park. The rocks and stones along the beach are visible reminders of the land bridge once connecting Tasmania to the mainland.

Cape Tribulation, in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in northern Queensland, is in one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world. The Eastern Kuku Yalanji Aboriginal people are the traditional owners of this area.

Hellfire Bay is located east of Esperance in Cape Le Grand, one of Western Australia's best known and most spectacular national parks.
