‘Blowie’ mail begins
NZPA-AAP Brisbane The next mail Australia Post delivers to you may have a blowfly stuck on it.
It is part of a gimmick to promote outback Queensland, the idea of a tourism manager, Peter Nicholls, of Blackall, 1200 km north-west of Brisbane. “The blowflies are
stickers the same size as airmail stickers but instead of Par Avion, the words Par Mouch — French for ‘by fly’ are printed on them,” Mr Nicholls said yesterday.
Australia Post does not object to stickers on envelopes, as long as they are not considered indecent.
