Australia Post FDC - Centenary of Royal South Street Society - 1979
Mint condition cover. Nice addition to any collection. Affordable price.
History:
South Street began as a debating competition run by the South Street Society in 1891. It soon grew and now includes public speaking, acting, singing, music, dance and calisthenics.
Since 1965 it has been held in Her Majesty’s Theatre Ballarat, Australia's oldest continually operating theatre. It was purchased after the South Street Society ran an appeal. Today Her Majesty's is the main venue for the Eisteddfod, but it was gifted to the City of Ballarat in 1987 to enable government funding for major upgrades, restorations and maintenance work.
