Stocks of the 30c Waratah stamp became in short supply at post offices in mid-1971. New printing cylinders had to be made because the original set was unservicable, and the resultant printing shows some colour variations from the earlier stamps. In the new printing greater areas of white are shown in the pink tones of the petals.
