This issue was printed by the NPB (Note Printing Branch) using four colours. The 27th of September was designated Stamp Day by Australia Post as part of National Stamp Week (27 September to 3 October).
The design on this stamp is of William Blamire Young, the designer of the Kangaroo & Map stamp first released in 1913, with the Kangaroo & Map stamp to his left. The miniature sheet was printed showing the four stages of printing from Yellow for the first print, to the fourth print (the finished stamp), the black lettering had to be faked in order to make the stamps legible as although three of the stamps are incomplete, they are all are valid for postage within Australia.
Issued 27th September.
