Issued for National Stamp Week 1978, this 20c commemorative celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the 1928 National Stamp Exhibition by showcasing a beautifully reproduced miniature of Australia’s classic 3d Kookaburra stamp. The central vignette faithfully recreates the original engraved design—featuring the iconic kookaburra perched on a branch—in deep steel-blue, framed by a modern grid background. The crisp typography in red and green unites past and present, emphasizing Australia’s long philatelic tradition. A highly desirable item for collectors of Australian commemoratives, bird-thematics, and classic-stamp reproduction issues, often collected alongside the original 1928 Kookaburra miniature sheet.
