From the reverse: Clipper ships provided vital links between the old world and the new throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century. For the colonies in Australia, the clipper ships were the link to the mother country; bringing new settlers and fortune seekers; returning laden with Australian wool and the spoils of the Australian goldfields. Four fast-sailing clipper ships, Cutty Sark, Orient, Sobraon and Thermopylae are featured on this set of stamps.
