Given the date on the accompanying postage due stamp, I would suggest it is 12 MARch 44

collectrix · Post by **collectrix** » 14 Jul 2019 15:46

Actually it looks as if the date on the Fortitude Valley postmark is 830A13NO44, as I doubt that the datestamp would have had a 3 figure month.

The year on the Wernadinga datestamp is clear enough to confirm it as 44.

Yes, I don't know why I put it at March when it is clearly November!

COOCHIN CREEK QUEENSLAND. This image was in my email inbox this morning.

Something doesn't seem quite right with this. YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE.

dwhopper · Post by **dwhopper** » 28 Jul 2019 14:10

Must have been sent to a not too select group of QLD postmark collectors.

Can you better define your suspicions? I also feel it does not look quite right but I have no definitive specific concerns.

Ubobo.R.O. · Post by **Ubobo.R.O.** » 28 Jul 2019 14:18

Just a feeling that the "piece" doesn't go with the stamp.

Rod Perry · Post by **Rod Perry** » 28 Jul 2019 18:24

Looks OK to me.

I'm puzzled why the doubt?

Hi!

here is a Queensland postmark, which I`m not sure about, but I think it is Arrilalah dated JE 1918, so clearly in RO period. Is it an old datestamp or is it a new ERD by 11 years!?

Information I found is:

ARRILALAH
45km SW of Longreach FOREST GROVE renamed.
Receiving Office 1887-1890;
Post Office 1890-1917;
Receiving Office 1917-1927;
Post Office 1927-1971

Greetings

Second & third copy:

WCS fdc 3½d QEII green postmarked Byellee Qld cds 18th March 1959.

WCS fdc 5d Dame Nellie Melba postmarked Byellee Qld cds 20th September 1961.

Terry, looks like you are going to have to revise the ERD as 18th March 1959 & the LRD as 20th September 1961.

josto · Post by **josto** » 13 May 2020 15:30

Hi!

I think this might be a new ERD date for "Fishery Falls"!? It is dated 30 MR 1935. Am I right with this one?

Ubobo.R.O. · Post by **Ubobo.R.O.** » 13 May 2020 19:06

Most likely the addressee was the telephone office manager. The canceller was meant to be used for internal PMG's department matters.

I have seen a few obscure Queensland postmarks on FDCs. I used to just skip over, but now I take a look.

Euramo Queensland. What the earliest date for type 1 was.

2 back, the CDS is not Euramo.

The postmarks diameter is 26mm. This is a great new find.

What has become of Rod Perry's Qld postmark cover hoard? Dare I say there would be enough there to warrant a 3rd edition?
