A trip in Jan 2015, yielded the following covers.
The rectangular (#1804 ) is somewhat large but included to show variety.
Interestingly Adelaide still has the broad arrow symbol of government mark on many covers. This is a past UK symbol for government supplies. Was adopted by Australia whilst still a colony. (Hence old movies often depict prisoner clothing with 'broad arrow' markings.)
Most covers have a number (e.g.: 4, 5, etc).
Quite a few 'Survey Mark' covers sighted (#1797, 1818, 1819).
Large cover (#1798) with small cover lid within.
Surprising very few square covers (#1802) sighted.
