The two 2d Tasmania stamps are likely Scott #48 and 54, but you have to measure the perfs and check the watermark to be sure. See the Scott listings between #48 and #61 for Type A5, 2p green. There are several.

re the Fiji stamp
Not all values in the George V definitive sets had a line under the d. The 1½d, 2d, 4d and 6d did not have a line under the d.

Sebastopolfun, you will have to check the perforation of the South Australian 2d. The colour of your stamp is bright violet; If the perforation is 13, then the stamp was issued on October 10, 1899. If it is 12 x 11½ it has a comb perforation and was issued on October 11, 1904.

Perforation 13 - SG178

Perforation 12 x 11½ - SG180

Now for the Tassie stamps. The stamp on the left is yellow-green, the stamp on the right is blue-green. Both are perforated 11½. The yellow-green is scarcer.

Year of issue - 1871.

Yellow-green: SG133
Blue-green: SG133a

I should buy a Scott's Catalogue to add to my little library.

Sebastopolfun

As Roy said earlier you will have to tell us the perfs and watermarks of your Tasmanian stamps before anyone can give you a positive identification. It is not possible to tell by colour alone as colours appear different on each monitor and of course stamp colours also can change due to usage and storage conditions.
There are three watermarks involved with these particular issues. The earlier issues have the numeral 2 in single line form and the later issues have the word TAS diagonally across the stamp. One has the three letters TAS joined at top and bottom by dotted lines and the other is without the dotted lines.
These issues also come with three different perforations 11½,12 and 14. And there are possibly five different SG numbers involved (I do not have Scott so cannot help with these). There are also a number of colours involved - yellow-green,blue-green,deep green,pale green and green.

Your stamps have different perforations so are unlikely to come from the same issue.

I do not have to hand all the information I need for your 2/6 New South Wales stamp but again there was more than one issue and from memory I think there is more than one watermark involved. Can you check your watermark and perfs for this one as well.

Regards
Frank

There were 3 issues of the NSW 2/6. There were 5 different perf combinations 12x11.5 comb,12x11 single line,11.5x11 single line,12 single line and 11 single line. Only one single line perf 12 is presently known.

The scans are sourced from The Comprehensive Colour Catalogue of Australian Stamps 4th edition. The watermark numbers are those used By Stanley Gibbons and the perforation information is from the ACSC Kangaroos and the Early Federal Period (2004 edition).
