I've seen some relatively uneven overprints before, particularly in lesser-known colonies, but this one takes the cake. The last "E" is completely jacked up in the wrong direction. Is it a forgery?
Also, Stampworld lists this piece as "Carmine", but this is about as "Pink" as it gets in my opinion. Is the website mistaken?

That's quite the answer! You win for creativity. To me, it looks like it was burned into the stamp.
I'll do you one better than a WMK. It's a Perf 14, of which Stampworld only lists "Carmine" as the color. The earlier versions have "Rose" added to them.
I agree with Rod. "n / service" looks like someone was creative with some kind of pen.
Probably "NO 17" cancel. You can seepart of the 'N' next to the 'n.' The 'O' may have been part of the day slug and then drawn just as the suggested overprint. 'O.S.' was used in some other Australian states.
