A few words from the pack:

"Experience the mythical creatures in three dimensions with 3d glasses !

In a first for Australia post, the stamp sheetlet in this pack has been constructed to allow for the illusion of the third dimension. this special effect has been created by carefully calibrated pre-media separations. Several different layers have been created to achieve these fantastic 3d images."

Long, long ago ... the fantastic world of ancient myth and legend is brought to life with these six creatures. common in celtic folklore, the mercurial fairy can be both malicious and an agent for good. the ugly, strong but dim-witted troll derives from norse mythology.

The mermaid, a beautiful woman with the tail of a fish, in greek mythology lures sailors to their deaths with her unearthly song. the griffin, with the body of a lion and wings and head of an eagle, in greek and medieval art represents courage, strength and leadership. 

The unicorn was invented by the ancient greeks and in the middle ages it was believed that these wild, shy creatures could only be captured by a young girl.

Dragons appear in many cultures. the winged dragon of european tradition lives in a cave or lair and is generally malevolent.
