This issue saw the first release of self adhesive, peel & stick stamps in a booklet.

This booklet was around for two years and during its time it saw five different covers. After the original print there were five reprints, finishing with the 1 Kangaroo 1 Koala reprint.

There were a couple of consistent print imperfections on this issue, one of the better known is the "Hyphen Between Threatened & Species" that occurred on the 2nd Bat stamp of the original issue. See illustration bottom right.

There were three official overprints on this issue. They were National Stamp Show 1992 Brisbane (only on the 1 Koala), Asian International Exhibition Kuala Lumpur 1993 (2 Koala) and Stamp Exhibition 1993 Taipei (4 Koala).

A private overprint was added to the National Stamp Show overprint, with the words ASDA Dinner.

The Castle Hill Stamp Club also did some overprints. They had Orange Blossom 1992 on the 1 Koala, and Orange Blossom 1993 on the 2 Koala and 3 Koala.

Other varieties include the Olympic Entry Form being brown under UV light, and also the stamps being printed on the backing paper. This means that when the stamp is removed, the adhesive is left on the booklet.

The 1992 Christmas Booklet was issued in two versions. The bottom selvedge margin was either fully Perfed or completely Imperf.

There was also an overprint for the Sydney Stamp & Coin Show 1992, illustrated below. This overprint can be found in both bottom selvedge varieties.

A rare printing variety also exists in both selvedge versions. The small "tails" on the letters of "Christmas 1992" on the front cover are missing on the "t" and the "2" on a few issues. See the example bottom right with the effected letters highlighted by the red circles.

A rare private overprint exists with an ASDA Dinner overprint on both versions of the selvedge.
