504 PSE image1970 social usage of 10c Aerogramme uprated with QEII 2c & 3c (both very scarce on non-philatelic mail) and 50c William Dampier tied by 'CASTLE HILL/22DE70/NSW-AUST' cds with red and blue lines for registration & express services and white/red 'OVERSEAS/EXPRESS/DELIVERY' label on the face, to Switzerland with '4090 BASEL 2/25.12.70/PAKETAUSGABE' (= Parcel Counter) arrival backstamp on Christmas Day, one flap re-attached.

The aerogramme rate was 10c plus 30c registration & 25c express delivery fees = 65c. [NB: the sender lived at Dural, 1km SE of Round Corner, where the item was registered, but the stamps were cancelled at Castle Hill, a more prominent PO 5km SSW of Round Corner]
