Just picked this up and wanted to see if anyone has any population statistics for Copping, Tasmania. Wikipedia only states that there are 183 individuals in last census, and that post office was open from October 1, 1886 and closed in 1988.

This is Scott 6, ACSC 15.

Copping is unrated (common) for this period - as indeed are all recorded cancellations from Copping.

As per John Hardinge, Tasmanian Postal History Post Office and Datestamp Compendium (2019), p.50.
