Address has been smudged a little and the cover has been roughly opened but it is still intact and is quite presentable, especially due to the 2x 9d NSW Sesqui franking that was used to make up the 1/6s rate for a ½ oz. !! ACSC value for a single 9d stamp on cover was $150 in 2006.
3d paid the commercial papers rate. Flap has been stuck down with small fold o/wise condition is excellent.
Flap has not been sealed to comply with requirement for printed matter rate. Condition is excellent to fine. This usage is a little harder to find than you may think.
Reduced a fraction at top when opened o/wise condition is excellent - c.v. "on cover" $30 (2006)
On cover usage of this stamp can be quite elusive. Nice example in fine condition.
Perth, Sydney and Malta b/stamps. 2/- Flannel Flower paid the reg fee, 2/3d Wattle paid the air mail fee for ½oz. to European destinations. Excellent condition.
A couple of tiny staple holes near centre-top o/wise condition is excellent to fine. ACSC value on cover = $35 (2006)
Attractive cover (no b/stamps). 1/9d postage paid correct for air mail to Italy and then by surface mail to Germany. Fine condition.

3½d correct rate for letter up to one ounce by surface mail (including ½d War Tax). Excellent to fine condition.
Stamp has not been perf T (stamps from this set are yet to be seen with the official perfin to the best of my knowledge) - fine condition. Usage of this stamp on an official cover is quite hard to find.

7x 2½d + ½d Roo make up correct contemporary rate of 1/6d for ½oz. by air. Excellent condition and a bit more interesting than the sterile unaddressed FDC that many seek!
