This blog by Dr Jeremy is devoted to the 1st Queensland sideface stamps (1878/9-1881), a fascinating aspect of Queensland philately. It is a work in progress and aims for comprehensiveness. There were five issues, 1d reddish brown / scarlet, 2d blue, 4d yellow, 6d green and 1 shilling violet / lilac, also a 1d overprint and 1d stamp duty. The stamps come from my and other collections, Ebay, Queensland Stamp Collecting Facebook Group, Stampboards.com & auctions. Contact:jeremy2929@gmail.com.

Queensland 1st Sideface - Intercolonial use
Here is an example of a Queensland 1st sideface used postmarked 13 December in Sydney, New South Wales on a 1shilling first Sideface. Unusual and interesting.
And another Sydney cancellation on a 2d. blue dated 7 February 1881
