Kangaroo stamps of Australia
The Kangaroo stamps of Australia, commonly known as ''Roos'', were the Kangaroo and Map series of definitive stamps of the Australian Commonwealth first issued in 1913.
==Background and design==
They were issued in 1913, over 12 years after Federation. Although the delay had several causes, one of the major reasons was political wrangling regarding the design. There was a considerable amount of opposition to any inclusion of British royal symbols or profiles.〔The Australian Stamp Catalogue, 1976 edition〕
A design completion was announced in 1911, and several designs, including royal profiles were chosen. The government decided on having only one design, and Charles Frazer, then postmaster-general, inspired the basic outline of the new design.〔http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A080596b.htm〕
Blamire Young, a local watercolour artist, was commissioned to produce the final design.
