Welcome to our 85th sale, which is an online auction only, comprising 1,139 lots featuring a wide range of Australian material. There are 187 lots of Australian Colonies, with strength in Queensland, with an excellent range of Moreton Bay District postmarks and covers, and Victoria including an excellent range of scarce SPECIMEN overprints.

Australian Commonwealth begins with a fine group of 1901-12 essays, with five examples of the ‘CA’ overprints on States stamps, and several 1911 Stamp Design Competition essays. A wide range of Kangaroo issues includes many fine stamps, with shades, inverted watermarks and OS punctures, and there is a 1d Unwatermarked Proof in Green believed to be a coil trial, and 6d Die Proof in Brown. The 1913-14 Engraved Issues includes a set of 6d Kookaburra plate number multiples.

The King George V issues are extensive with all watermarks and values well-represented, and with a wide array of monogram and imprint pieces. The ½d Greens are exceptional with virtually all monograms represented, including a sheet of the substituted CA monogram. The 1d Reds include many fine pieces, with Die Proofs, shades, and several large multiples. The later issues have a specialised collection of the 1937 NSW Sesquicentenary, decimal booklet errors, and some interesting Cinderella items.

The Postage Due issues have some fine monocolour high values, and monogram and imprint rarities in the bicoloured issues. A wide range of Postal Stationery begins with the artist’s essay for the 1911 1d George V Fullface design and a Die Proof of the design in Blue. There are large sections of Postal Cards, Envelopes and Lettercards, the latter with individual rarities and bulk lots.
