		On 1 January 1901, federation of the Colonies occurred and the Commonwealth of Australia was born, as a dominion of the British Empire.
		The Commonwealth of Australia is a constitutional monarchy: the Queen of Australia is considered to be the head of state, although that term is found nowhere in the Constitution or the law.
		Australia is often referred to by economists as the "world's farm", but despite this emphasis on the agriculture sector, in recent years the Australian government has been focusing on the tourism, education and technology markets.

		This is an overview of the postage stamps and postal history of Australia.
		Although unification of systems was expected to occur quickly, and a federal postmaster general was appointed, the process was delayed for several years; the stamps of each colony were not recognized by other colonies until 1910, and postal rates only became uniform throughout Australia on 1 May 1911.
		Kangaroo and Map stamps were reprinted several times: in 1915 with first the "wide crown and narrow A" watermark, then the "narrow crown and narrow A"; in 1929 with the "multiple small crown and A" watermark, and higher values in two colors; in 1932 with the "multiple small crown and C of A" watermark.

	Stamps On Covers (Postal History)
		Stamps were intended to pay the cost of carrying the mail and, quite often, they are worth much when they are still affixed to the envelope or package wrapper on which they originated.
		In the stamp collecting hobby, envelopes are called "covers" and such usages of stamps on these covers are important to millions of collectors.
		The stamp is affixed to a cover with an attractive "cachet" design and is cancelled on the first day the stamp is issued to the public.

	SOSCC, POSTAL STATIONERY ARTICLE
		When the postal authority of a country produces stationery (envelopes, postal cards, aerogrammes, etc.) with a printed stamps (indicia) designed to indicate payment the appropriate postage, those items fall into the category of "postal stationery." These stationery items are absolutely suitable for philatelic collecting purposes.
		Stamp catalogues included postal stationery up to about 1920 when the publishers decided there was not enough interest in postal stationery to continue to list it.
		Postal stationery related to the topic of stamps on stamps is a relatively small part of SOS collecting, but a fascinating part nevertheless.

	Postage stamps and postal history of New South Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The use of perforation began in 1860; unfortunately for collectors, the stamps were very closely spaced, the perforating process not well-controlled, and it is unusual to find stamps from before 1899 where the perforation does not touch or cut into the design on one or more sides.
		A 2½d stamp depicting an allegorical figure of Australia appeared in 1890, while ½d, 7½d, and 12½d values were produced in 1891 as surcharges on existing stamps.
		In 1913 the stamps of New South Wales were superseded by those of Australia; see stamps and postal history of Australia.

		The left stamp shows a boy and girl examining a stamp album; the center SUG stamp shows Iceland #672, 713, under magnification, and others;and the right stamp shows a girl and elderly man looking at a globe.
		An unusual SOSUG is the 50 sen value in the souvenir sheet of four diamond-shaped stamps originally issued by Malaysia in 1996 to observe 50 years of organized Malaysian philately and issued in a slightly revised form, #645e, in 1997, with the addition of an inscription to commemorate MALPEX'97, Figure 17.
		While the SOS shown on the stamp in Figure 18 is actually a Type SY (pseudo stamp) SUG, the issue has the unique feature of SUG's in the margins of the pane as well.

	Australian Postal History & Social Philately
		The answer lies partly due to boredom with stamp collecting, partly to the cost of filling the few spaces in my personal collection, and partly to my exposure in 1999 to an International stamp exhibition in Melbourne (Australia 99), where Social Philately was introduced as an experimental class of exhibiting.
		Like many stamp collectors, I had accumulated a disorganized group of Australian covers, and in the mid 90's I added the postmarks of the Australian Colonies and States to my collection.
		The journal editor recognized that the cover was of limited importance in regards to Postal History, but of much greater interest in regards to Social Philately.

		The Australian Philatelic Society, based in Melbourne, Australia, is an international society whose primary aim is to assist the collector and researcher of the stamps, postal markings and postal history, of Australia and its States.
		The term 'postal history' has taken on a narrow focus in the minds of many philatelists, a focus that excludes rather than involves collectors.

	Postal History, Worldwide at The Collectible Stamps
		Postal history is the study of the development of postal systems.
		Its basis is the activity of postal authorities which issue postage stamps and control the means of collection, sorting and delivery of mail.
		For instance, a stamp apparently used before any other stamp of its type could be proved a forgery if it was postmarked at a location known not to have received any stamps until three weeks later.
