The budding philatelists expanded their knowledge with the help of a special release from Australia Post.
Marking Stamp Collecting Month, Reef Safari is a series of stamps that may have been seen on letters arriving in Dubbo mailboxes recently.
The young group was at the post office in Talbragar Street with the designs, which feature the grey reef shark, green sea turtle, nautilus, olive sea snake and emperor angelfish.

It coincided with the third International Year of the Reef.
