Australia Post have released several fantasy Special Events Sheetlets depicting scenes and characters from the Star Trek, Star Wars and Dr Who movies and TV series. These will not be listed as they are considered highly priced, extremely exploitative and not directly related to Space. They are also not associated with a recognised philatelic event such as a stamp exhibition. In addition a number of random private overprints of a Space related event on both Space Related items and non-Space related items have been made from 2013 onwards. These will not be listed.
