I received this postcard from my daughter who was travelling though New Zealand earlier this month. She had time to drop by Matamata to see the movie sets where they filmed scenes from "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit". It's a very popular tourist stop between Auckland and Rotorua.
The postcard came with this stamp that I found unfamiliar. It's from a private New Zealand mail carrier called The New Zealand Document Exchange or DX Mail. She dropped this off at a New Zealand Post postbox in Christchurch but it ended up with a postmark implying it went through a bulk carrier in Wellington.
She also brought back these recent FDCs with illustrated artwork featuring common plants that are foraged around New Zealand: Kawakawa, Bladder Kelp, Watercress and Fennel. Beautiful stamps.
