closer view of the stamps, which portray the Queensland Hairy-nosed Wombat
(Lasiorhinus krefftii), Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus),
Greater Bilby (Macrotis lagotis), Bridled Nail-tailed Wallaby (Macropus
fraenatus), Leadbeater's Possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri)
and Stick-nest Rat (Leporillus conditor). The artwork for
the stamps as well as the commemorative booklet was created by Australian
wildlife illustrator Frank Knight (not to be confused with American wildlife
artist Charles
Knight - 1874-1953).
