 Christmas Island

Since the transfer to Australia, in 1958, stamps have been issued specifically for Christmas Island, with the brief exception for the period after the change of currency to the Australian dollar, when stamps of Australia were used between 1966 and 1968. Between 1958 and 1993 there was an independent stamp issuing policy. Since 1993 the stamps for Christmas Island have been issued by Australia Post and are also valid for use in Australia, just as the stamps of Australia are valid on Christmas Island.
