The following is a listing of scarce Australian commemorative postmarks of the decimal period that began in February 1962.  Only those postmarks are listed below where the quantity postmarked is below 1000 and the official figure has been published in the Australian Post Office Stamp Bulletin. Study the extremely small postmarking figures and do keep in mind that they include articles lodged for normal postal transmission and commercial use thus reducing the number of unaddressed covers available to general postmark collectors and those who collect by topic or theme.

Catalogue Numbers are from New Look Pictor Marks 1999 by Clarrie Peck and used with permission. All postmarks are clear good strikes on unaddressed covers.

Kindly note that the covers that appear with this listing are examples of what the cover looks like and may not be the exact cover we ship. The postmarks are accurate, of good quality and as shown. Many covers are virtually the same and because a picture is worth a thousand words we feel it is better to see some thing than nothing.
