Does anyone know what this WA cancel is?

I can't even guess what it might be but I presume "DEP" is short for "DEPARTMENT."

It's "BOULDER" with a damage "L" and "R".

And here is another one. Wow - the canceller was broken for over a year! Also, it seems to be missing the final A of AUSTRALIA in two of the three cancels.

Over the years many collectors have probably looked in vain for a place called BOUI DEP.

Or, they have tried to figure out what department (DEP) B.O.U.I. is.

Here's a new example of the BOUI DEP postmark from WA. This dates back to 12 July 1910 and, although the L looks like an I, the final R is complete and not looking like a P.
