Papua New Guinea - King George V (1910-1936)

The stamps of Papua New Guinea were linked to the Australian administration on the eastern part of the island of New Guinea until 1975. In the South, Papua, used the stamps of Queensland between 1885 and 1901. In the North, New Guinea was under the control of the German Empire and used its stamps between 1888 and 1897. The colony got stamps bearing its name after 1897. Consequently, to the Australian conquest in 1914, the remaining German colonial stamps and some Australian ones, were overprinted
