*New Zealand - a Slice of Heaven*

>From the Titahi Bay Boatsheds to Tane Mahuta, from Auckland’s Sky Tower to the Christchurch Cathedral, New Zealand Post has captured our country’s’ ‘Slices of Heaven’ in its latest stamp issue ‘New Zealand – a Slice of Heaven’.

The stamp concept has been developed with the premise that ‘*If you tried to capture a day in the life of New Zealand on something the size of a postage stamp, you might end up with this…’*

Originally a painting on canvas, this artistic stamp issue captures a variety of uniquely kiwi experiences including: rural rugby, a ‘typical country town’ (with main street, garage, church, statue and tow truck), a
camp ground during the school holidays, two hour traffic delays to pass a single-lane bridge on the way to a summer-holiday destination, and a world-famous New Zealand vineyard.

New Zealand Post Stamps Marketing and Commercial Director, James Te Puni, said the 25 x 60 cent stamps in this release reflect New Zealand’s culture, heritage and various iconic locations.

“Each stamp shows a snapshot of the country and together the stamps form a unique image that captures ‘a day in the life of New Zealand’.

“The stamps creatively convey the distinctive kiwi culture and diverse landscapes that have led New Zealanders to refer to this beautiful nation as ‘A Slice of Heaven’ ” said Mr Te Puni.
