This stamp issue caters to different special occasions we celebrate throughout the year – weddings and engagements, birthdays and friendships, as well as to celebrate the birth of a baby and sending greetings to friends and loved ones.

The international stamps, on the other hand, feature the koala (AU$1.10), an Australian beach scene (AU$1.20) and Sydney Harbour Bridge (AU$1.80).
