Reverse with Rockhampton transit and Winchester arrival cds (May 19).  The cover cleaned with repaired opening tears that do not detract and are of small significance. Theresa Creek is a small mining town nearly 1'000 kms. NNW of Brisbane and 320 km. West of Rockhampton. Listed and illustrated in the Ben Palmer Queensland census on page 173. A most attractive and important cover.rnProvenance: Harmers, New York, 13-14 April 1988, lot 704.
