Stamp issues

This stamp issue features three Australian species found in various parts of the country: eastern New South Wales, northern Queensland and southern Western Australia.

The two stamps in this issue honour all those who have donned the national uniform, showcasing a progression from this first national team to the team of the current day, known since the 1970s as the Socceroos.

The inquisitive, endearing Budgerigar is a small parrot native to the drier regions of Australia. In the wild, budgerigars are green and yellow, with black markings on the nape, back and wings.
