i'd go one step more than Michael's, indicating that this is a postally used FDC paying what I assume is the proper rate to Australia.
so, for someone like me, who is indifferent to FDCs generally, an FDC used to do something out of the ordinary becomes more interesting than either that normal thing or the FDC.
For FDC collectors, you've found an abomination as it has no cachet, it's been addressed, and has an additional strike cancelling the 1c Jeff on an envelope larger than the standard #6.

Brian,
That's the beauty of having any kind of collection. It's your collection, do with it as you want. There aren't really any rules on what, how or why to collect anything.

...... and of virtually no philatelic significance since FDCs are often cancelled long after the indicated date and sometimes not even in the city indicated on the CDS.
FDCs and other favor covers of the US "Moon Landing" stamp were being cancelled as long as a year after the date of Armstrong's famous small step.
What such cancellations can possibly signify is a mystery to me, beyond that the duty of the post office to actually perform a delivery service is erased.
