1932 Australia Sydney Harbour Bridge Stamps – Celebrating a National Landmark

Celebrate Australia’s bold spirit of progress with the 1932 Sydney Harbour Bridge commemoratives — among the nation’s most famous stamps. Issued to mark the opening of the bridge connecting Sydney and North Sydney, these finely engraved designs capture both the architectural grandeur and optimism of the early 20th century.

Each stamp pictures the Harbour Bridge, affectionately known as “The Coathanger,” spanning the sparkling harbor with ships passing beneath — a powerful symbol of unity and innovation.

Issued: 1932
Design: Sydney Harbour Bridge
Printing: Engraved by the Note Printing Branch, Melbourne
Denominations: 3d blue and 5s green

The 3-pence paid standard letter postage within Australia, while the 5-shilling stamp was created for parcels and international mail — and saw far less use, making it especially prized by collectors.
