Australia Post's zodiac stamp issues are part of its Chinese New Year series, which began in 1994 with the Year of the Dog. Since then, it has continued to issue the zodiac stamps annually to celebrate each of the twelve zodiac animals. These stamps typically feature vibrant designs inspired by traditional Chinese art and cultural motifs. The zodiac stamps issued in 1995 feature the Pig, which is the last sign in the Chinese zodiac. Individuals born in the Year of the Pig are known for their warmth, sincerity, and generosity, making them delightful companions and trustworthy friends.
