1957 XVI Olympic Games Miniature Sheet (produced with permission)
In 1957, a Melbourne firm produced (with permission) 50,000 miniature sheets, with the four 1956,
Olympic stamps (in reduced size) in a miniature sheet, with for all
intents & purposes an Olympic Postmark, this issue has no postal
value or validity, so this sheet is a CINDERELLA.

Listed below are two stamps supplied by Martin Harmer, he found them at his
grandparents home in South Australia, they were in books being used as page markers, it just goes to show keep your eyes open, there is Gold in them there hills. They are obviously
from South Australia as the map of the State is show in the stamp, a figure of 5 cents is also shown, so they are post 1966 after Decimal currency came into force. I have made inquiries
and will list anything that is discovered. It is extremely disappointing that further details are not forthcoming, as at September 2022, nothing new has come to light.
Another item from Mark Harmer, this one a miniature sheet for National Stamp Week 7 to 14 October, 1974.
