Australia Post’s 13 October 2026 Waterscapes issue brings together designs for Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and the Australian Antarctic Territory. Each of the four stamps has a $1.85 denomination.

The subjects are Anson Bay on Norfolk Island, a reef off Christmas Island, Pulu Belan Madar in the Cocos group, and Lichen Lake near Davis research station in Antarctica. The photographs are credited respectively to Amy Mercer Photography, Chris Bray, Ryan Chatfield and Barend Becker of the Australian Antarctic Division.
