Australia 1929 6d Chestnut Kangaroo

Australia · 1929 · 6d

This definitive stamp features the iconic 'Kangaroo and Map' design, a staple of early Australian philately. The central vignette shows a kangaroo bounding across a map of Australia, framed by ornate scrollwork and the denomination. The chestnut color is characteristic of this particular issue within the long-running series.

The Kangaroo and Map series, first issued in 1913, was Australia's first definitive stamp series, symbolizing the newly federated nation's identity and replacing the individual state stamps.
