Stamp info:
When annexed by Great Britain in 1829, the state had initially been known as Swan River Colony, and a black swan later became the official emblem of Western Australia. The Postage Stamp Ordinance, passed by the state legislature in 1854, duly decreed that all lawful stamps should bear ‘the figure of a swan, on a black or other ground, in addition to any other figure, mark or words (if any) thereon impressed.’ In fact, no Western Australia stamp would bear any other image until 1902.
