The overprint is not too bad, but it is on the wrong stamp, a one penny 2nd sideface!

The letters are in the right direction but the numerals are too thin and the bottom half of the A is all wrong. Offered for sale on Ebay
An example offered for sale on Ebay in December 2020
Forgeries are also known on cover where an original ½d overprint has been affixed to an original cover. To pick up this type of forgery would involve some knowledge of Queensland postal history
