In March 1606 the Duyfken, a small ship owned by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), that had been sent out to explore the unknown waters south of New Guinea, chanced upon unknown territory. The continent that captain Willem Jansz had “found”, was Australia. 2006 marks the 400th anniversary of the first Dutch contact with Australia. The year will be celebrated both in Australia and the Netherlands.
That's what the creator of this tag put in the forum. To celebrate it a tag for Holland-Australia was created. This is a postcard from Glennis (glenasena), Sydney. This special postcard is sold with a stamp on the front. It shows the Harbour Bridge.
