on
1992 saw a change in New Zealand stamps when NZ Post began issuing themed definitive booklets. This is the first issue where ten different stamps combine to create one complete picture of a theme.
This booklet stamp issue of 10, 45 cent stamps depicts a scenic panorama reflecting the beauty of New Zealand's countryside. It is designed to incorporate many different types of New Zealand scenery. Each stamp shows a specific self-contained landscape but is also part of one total integrated theme.

Everything is here: the giant pohutukawa, coastal vegetation, beach, river, cultivated land, barren hills, rocky shoreline, fiord, steep mountain faces, deep water, alpine mountains, glacier, rocks, boulders and native bush.
