Australian Wildflowers Definitive Series

Australia · 1968 · 1c to 30c

This definitive series features a vibrant collection of native Australian wildflowers, showcasing the country's unique and diverse flora. Each stamp depicts a different species in detail, such as the Sturt's Desert Pea, Pink Heath, and Golden Wattle, rendered in rich colors. The designs highlight the botanical beauty of the continent.

Issued in 1968, this series was part of Australia's transition to decimal currency, which began in 1966. These stamps replaced earlier definitive issues and were widely used for everyday postage for several years.
