I don't actively collect these, but I know from fiddling around with varieties and postmarks from elsewhere what a task this is. Well done!

John,
Just received the book on Kangaroos by Dormer Legge.
Interesting reading. Like the section on cancels.

GeoffHa - Thank you,
pat

1d Roo - Red

This is an issue that (other) people have spent a lifetime studying.

These are a few things I've managed to find along the way by chance.

That's it for 1d KGV's. Will move on to the 1½ d KGV's in a bit.

Starting to find a lot of other posts on Australia (Roos, KGV, and other) with some great information. Will spend some time digging through them.

Thanks,
pat

Decided to make a small detour and do one of the smaller areas.

Northern Territory.
Almost the biggest in area, and smallest in population.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State...of_Australia

May as well finish the other two internal territories:

Federal Capital Territory (FCT) until 1938, then Australia Capitol Territory (ACT)




Jervis Bay Federal Territory. • 2022 estimate pop.405

(This one was fun )
