CPS Resource CentreAustralia Post issued two single stamps and a mini-sheet on June 9, 2009 to mark 150 years of Queensland’s independence from New South Wales in December 1859. The design on the 55c stamp depicts the Queensland outback, and windmill along with a night view of Queensland Parliament House. The $2.75 stamp shows the Great Barrier Reef, a tropical beach and what looks like a tree-frog of some type. The mini-sheet comprises the two single stamps offset to the upper right, with an antique looking map of Queensland in the background of a sunset picture showing the outback and the Brisbane skyline.
