Here is a nice replica folded card depicting reprints (from the original die) plus 2 test dies for the Australian stamps commemorating Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith's round-the-world flight from 1931 in his triplane  'Southern Cross'.

Every year the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service produce a miniature sheet sold in aid of Koala research. This first one for 1988-89 is a special edition overprinted and signed for the Australian Museum Foundation:

This second one is from 1990 and is signed by the artist:

In 1892 gold was discoverd in Western Australia and the town of Coolgardie was founded. In 1893 a private cycle mail service was established, by James A Healy, to carry the mail to the nearest town of Kalgoorlie. In 1894 he introduced 2 blue stamps, anniversary reproductions shown above. By 1895 the service was expanded using a camel service. There were 3 values of stamps issued, 6d, 2/- and 5/-. The Western Australian Government stepped in and stopped their sale soon after. The additional 1/- orange shown below is bogus. These are all anniversary stamps and the 1/- is modern.

2 more items. The PALS stamps are reproduced for Stamp News Australia in 2009 by Seagull Press, Belgrave, Victoria.

Two more sheets. The first is for the Australian National Philatelic Exhibition of 1950 and the second is a sheet of stamps for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
