St. George Philatelic Society

About Us

The St. George Philatelic Society has a long and exciting Stamp Collecting History and is full of interesting and some-times colourful people.
It was the first suburban stamp club in Australia, formed in 1895 and established in 1937.
We have an extensive library which includes articles from the St. George Philatelist magazines, the St. George Philatelist extended over 55 years.

They aim to please and most of all enjoy helping other collectors. They meet at the Rockdale Hall 36 George Street, Rockdale.
