There are actually 2 booklets of s/a stamps for this issue. A close examination of the Stamp Bulletin shows the booklet of 10 x $1 has 10 copies of the Pollinators stamp (the larger $1 stamp), while the booklet of 20 x $1 has a mixture of the 3 smaller $1 stamps.
I sent a complaint to AP a few years ago about not showing what was in the s/a booklets when a 10 stamp booklet and a 20 stamp booklet were released for the same issue. At least now it is (just) possible to see what each booklet contains.

Australia Post has introduced "Collecting Community" and as a gift for joining I received one of the "In the Garden" S/S only these sheets issued to collectors who join the "Collecting Community"are unique,they have been treated with a special coating that only shows up under UV light ,(which they also give you)as a keyring and it shows the rays of the sun all through the sheet including the stamps.
So you need to check any of these stamps that come your way ,as they could be from the special sheets?

Released on the 10th of September a single stamp " Murchison Meteorite"1 x $1-00 issued in sheetlet of 10.
