This
release represents four native Australian horticultural industries; eucalyptus oil, honey, macadamia nuts and tea tree oil. All four are cultivated for use domestically and in the export market. The eucalyptus oil industry began in 1852 in Victoria, and is referred to as the first truly Australian industry, accounting for some 10% of the world market. The honey industry exports approximately fifty percent of it's product, with bees declining worldwide, due to the over use of pesticides and herbicides, Australian honey is sought after in the world market. Australian macadamia nuts are a huge industry with over 75% being exported, New South Wales produces around 60%, while Queensland produces about 40%, with a small percentage coming form Tasmania. Tea tree oil naturally supplies a number of health benefits, it is the next most successful industry after macadamia nuts.

Stamp / Product Design: John White A.P.D.S. - Printer: McKellar Renown
This
release highlights the importance of our Naval forces, from 1788 until 1859, Australia was protected by contingent of the Royal Navy, which was based in Sydney. In 1859 after Australia was established as a separate British Naval Station until 1913 a squadron of the Royal Navy was maintained in Australian waters, this squadron was maintained entirely by the Australian Commonwealth. After discussions in 1909 an Australian Fleet of a battle cruiser, three second class cruisers, sis destroyers, three submarines and a number of auxiliary craft was established, the first of these the HMA Yarra and Parramatta reached Australian waters in November, 1910. On 10 July 1911, His Majesty King George V granted the title 'Royal Australian Navy' to the Commonwealth Naval Forces here in Australia, although it was not until 4 October 1913 that the Australian Fleet entered Sydney Harbour, control of the units then passed to the Commonwealth Naval Board. These two stamps show the historic HMAS Australia our first flagship (launched in 1911) and the HMAS Sydney a guided missile frigate, they were released as a Se-tenant pair.
