As part of Australia Post’s bicentenary celebrations ten stamps celebrating two hundred years of postal services in Australia have been released. The stamps highlight the contribution the postal service has made to the lives of Australians since Isaac Nichols became the first postmaster of New South Wales in 1809.

These ten stamps visually tell the story of 200 years of postal services in Australia and the important role they have played in the development of our nation. Each of the stamps feature a postmark relating to the period depicted by the stamp.
