Islands in the Sun

 

2007: Island Jewels
Head for the sunny beaches of Rottnest Island.  It is also the place to see lots of cute quokka.

Maria Island, Tasmania, not only long sandy beaches, mountains and wildlife it is a World Heritage Australian Convict Site. Deported as punishment and wake up in paradise, eventually. Kangaroo Island off the south coast of Australia, I wonder what we will find there😀
Green Island a coral cay at the heart of the Great Barrier Reef.
1980: International Conference for Tourism, Manila
The subtropical island of Madeira, "the pearl of the Atlantic", as the card suggests it has an abundance and variety of fruit, something it shares in common with
1955: Landscapes

the Caribbean island of Martinique. This island however has an active volcano, it and the surrounding forests are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Heading away from the islands to France where the 'Race to the Sun'  begins today, a classic cycling stage race from Paris through France's mountainous centre and which will eventually arrive on to the sunlit riviera of Nice on the 16th March.
2015: Extreme Sports

A cooling activity for the heat of high summer in Portugal, white water rafting.

They are all appealing locations, but the madeira and Portugal stamps are so pretty and well designed.
