In addition to all of the above the following ‘stamp packs’ containing sheets of 12 different My Stamps and sold above face value at A$15.50c will be put on sale:-
Animalia, Top Gun, Top Gun Maverick, Batman, Mr Men and Little Miss anniversary, The Flintsones, Peanuts, Monsters - a total of 96 stamps. All the above will add another 144 stamps plus 9 miniature sheets to Australia Post’s total for 2021, and all in the space of 2 months.
I doubt the Newcastle sheet will be issued as that show has been postponed until 2021.
