Aye, aye Captain Cook! In addition to the set shared by coastwatcher, South Georgia released a similar series the same year,
Michel n.º 74-77
The set of four postage stamps was issued in 1979 to mark the earlier voyages of Captain Cook and depicted the following:
3p - The Resolution
6p - South Georgia and South Sandwich Isles routes
11p - King Penguin
25p - Medallion of Captain Cook himself
Happy collecting!

A piece of this Australian souvenir sheet issued for the 250 th anniversary of the Endeavour voyage was shown already on this thread as an FDC, so here is the whole thing:  The sheet officially contains 10 stamps, but each vertical pair has only partial perforations between the upper and lower stamps, so I doubt these are separated often! P.S.: My son wanted me to use the dancing banana so here goes:  |
