If you are interested in buying Australian stamps to collect, there are a number of ways you can go about it.
Almost any stamp dealer will have large boxes of stamps from various countries, or international collections, that have used stamps still stuck to portions of an envelope. This is the cheapest way to collect and a good way to get started, but it is a bit labour intensive and messy getting the stamps off the envelopes without damaging them in the process.
Many stamp dealers will sell "Year Sets" of stamps for any given country. Most sets will be "Mint UnHinged" (MUH), ie. mint condition and never stuck to a letter or been through the post. This is a relatively expensive way to go about collecting, but you can be reasonably assured that you are getting a "mint" condition unused (MUH) stamp.
There are also year sets of "Cancelled To Order" (CTO) stamps, ie. mint condition and never stuck to a letter or been through the post, but have been post marked very carefully by the Post Office so that the details of the stamp are still clearly visible. These sets are considerably less expensive than MUH year sets and are still a quality product.
You can go to any Australia Post (Australia's national postal carrier) outlet and buy the latest release packets of MUH stamps at the current postal rates or, you can visit the Australia Post web site and browse or order on line.
Finally, you can subscribe to the "Stamp Bulletin" and be sent a small free periodical magazine style booklet listing all immediate past stamp issues and upcoming releases with the details of design, availability and format of each stamp type. The "Stamp Bulletin" also comes complete with an order form.
