This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of South Australia, a former British colony that is now part of Australia. ==Pre-stamp era== The first postmaster of South Australia was Thomas Gilbert, appointed in 1836. Letters sent or received were charged one penny.〔 (Archived here. )〕 The first Post Office Act of 1839 established rates of 3 or 6 pence for letters delivered within the colony. By 1840 there were six post offices. In July 1841 a rate based on weight and distance was implemented. The rate for letters received from places other than the other Australian colonies was set at 8 pence up to half an ounce, 1/- for up to one ounce, 1/3d for up to 1½ ounces,and 1/6d for letters up to 2 ounces. All letters or packages above 2 ounces were to be charged 2/6d. For letters to or from the other Australian colonies the rate was 6d for up to one ounce (9d, 1/-, 1/3d then 2/6 for higher weights as above).
