re: Need help identifying Pre Decimal Australia FDC
The Red Cross stamp is Scott 271 and it is a FDC. The date matches Scott's date of June 9, 1954.
The other cover is Scott 291. It is the top value of a four stamp series issued to honor the 12th Olympic games in Melbourne in 1956. First Day of issue is October 31, 1956. I can not read the date on your cover to be sure if it is a First Day.

re: Need help identifying Pre Decimal Australia FDC
A follow up to my previous post. I did not notice at first that he cover says FDI was December 1, 1956, while Scott shows October 31st. Does anyone know correct date?

re: Need help identifying Pre Decimal Australia FDC
My Rennicks catalogue gives the issue date as 1 st Dec 1954.which makes it a FDC.Also my Scott's Australian pages give the issue date as 1 st Dec 1954.
I have no idea who the cover producer was though.
