It is a single island with steep cliffs along much of the coastline, rising abruptly to a central plateau consisting mostly of rainforest. From 1901 to 1942, stamps of the Straits Settlements were used on Christmas Island, alongside those of Straits Settlements stamps overprints on Labuan stamps from 1907.  View Christmas Island was occupied by the Japanese from March 1942 until September 1945. There is no record of any civilian mail or postal services operating on the island during this period. Stamps of Malaya overprinted "BMA / MALAYA" (British Military Administration) were used from 1945 until 1946. View Singapore stamps were then used from 1946 to 1958. These were replaced by Australian stamps in Malayan currency, overprinted "Christmas Island" until 1963. From 1963, Christmas Island issued its own stamps inscribed "Christmas Island". When Australia converted to decimal currency in 1966, standard, un-overprinted Australian stamps were briefly used on Christmas Island between 1966 and 1968 until the new "Christmas Island / Indian Ocean" inscribed definitives were ready in 1968. Since 2 March 1993, Christmas Island stamps have been issued by Australia Post with the inscription "Christmas Island / Australia", making them valid for postage throughout Australia. 1958  STAMP ISSUES  Malayan Currency Christmas Island Australian Queen Elizabeth II Stamps: Overprinted "CHRISTMAS ISLAND" 15 October 1958 Gummed Stamps: 10x Sheets of 100. 1 2c.  Orange 2 4c.  Brown 3 5c.  Mauve 4 6c.  Blue 5 8c.  Black-Brown 6 10c.  Violet 7 12c.  Rose-Carmine 8 20c.  Ultramarine 9 50c.  Pea Green 10 $1.00.  Slate Green 1963  STAMP ISSUES  Malayan Currency Christmas Island Pictorial Definitives 28 August 1963 Gummed Stamps: 10x Sheets of 100. 1 2c.  Map of Island 2 4c.  Moonflower 3 5c.  Robber Crab 4 6c.  Island Scene 5 8c.  Phosphate Train 6 10c.  Raising Phosphate 7 12c.  Flying Fish Cove 8 20c.  The Loading Cantilever 9 50c.  Frigatebird 10 $1.00.  Golden Bosun Bird 1965  STAMP ISSUES  Malayan Currency Christmas Island Landing at Gallipoli: 50th Anniversary 14 April 1965 Gummed Stamps: 1x Sheet of 48. 1 10c.  Simpson & His Donkey 1968  STAMP ISSUES  Australian Currency Christmas Island Indian Ocean Fish Definitives: Issue 1 6 May 1968 Gummed Stamps: 10x Sheets of 100. 1 1c.  Golden-striped Grouper 2 2c.  Moorish Idol 3 3c.  Longnose Butterflyfish 4 4c.  Pink-tailed Triggerfish 5 5c.  Regal Angelfish 6 9c.  White-cheeked Surgeonfish 7 10c.  Lionfish 8 20c.  Ornate Butterflyfish 9 50c.  Clown Surgeonfish 10 $1.00.  Meyer's Butterflyfish 1969  STAMP ISSUES Christmas Island Christmas: Mosaic 10 November 1969 Gummed Stamps: 1x Sheet of 100. 1 5c.  Angel 1970  STAMP ISSUES Christmas Island Christmas: Paintings 26 October 1970 Gummed Stamps: 2x Sheets of 50. 3c.  The Ansidei Madonna 2 5c.  The Virgin & Child Christmas Island Indian Ocean Fish Definitives: Issue 2 14 December 1970 Gummed Stamps: 2x Sheets of 100. 3 15c.  Saddle Butterfly-fish 4 30c.  Giant Ghost Pipefish 1971  STAMP ISSUES Christmas Island Christmas: Paintings 4 October 1970 Gummed Stamps: 2x Sheets of 50. 1 6c.  Adoration of the Shepherds 2 20c.  The Virgin & Child 1972  STAMP ISSUES Christmas Island Ship Definitives: Issue 1 of 4 7 February 1972 Gummed Stamps: 4x Sheets of 50. 1 6c.  HMS Flying Fish 2 7c.  Asia 3 8c.  TSS Islander 4 20c.  Thomas Christmas Island Ship Definitives: Issue 2 of 4 5 June 1972 Gummed Stamps: 4x Sheets of 50. 5 1c.  Eagle 6 2c.  HMS Redpole 7 3c.  MV Hol Houw 8 $1.00.  Royal Mary Christmas Island Christmas: Angels 2 October 1972 Gummed Stamps: 2x Composite Sheets of 50, with Se-tenant Pairs (#9-10),(#11-12).  View 9 3c.  Peace 10 3c.  Joy 11 7c.  Peace 12 7c.  Joy 1973  STAMP ISSUES Christmas Island Ship Definitives: Issue 3 of 4 6 February 1973 Gummed Stamps: 4x Sheets of 50. 1 4c.  Pigot 2 5c.  SS Valetta 3 9c.  HMS Imperieuse 4 50c.  HMS Amethyst Christmas Island Ship Definitives: Issue 4 of 4 4 June 1973 Gummed Stamps: 4x Sheets of 50. 5 10c.  HMS Hecate 6 25c.  HMS Gordon 7 30c.  Cygnet 8 35c.  SS Triadic Christmas Island Christmas 2 October 1973 Gummed Stamps: 2x Sheets of 50.   9 7c.  Virgin & Child, and Map 10 25c.  Virgin & Child, and Map 1974  STAMP ISSUES Christmas Island Christmas 2 October 1972 -
