These stamps are from the Australian state of Victoria, which issued its own postage stamps before the federation of Australia in 1901.

Victoria was a British colony and later an Australian state. It issued its own stamps from 1850 to 1913, after which Australian Commonwealth stamps became standard.

All these stamps show a classical profile of Queen Victoria (often based on different engravings or medallions). Interestingly, one stamp also features the Southern Cross constellation, a nod to the Southern Hemisphere and a symbol later incorporated into Australia's national flag.
