Hi Wendy
A watermark is impressed into the paper when it is being made before the stamps are printed .If you hold your stamp up to a bright light,the design of the watermark should show through.
These are the first watermarks of the Commonwealth of Australia stamps

Hi Wendy, the Victoria stamp appears to be either Scott #194 (1901), or Scott #219 (1905). If it is #194 it will have a watermark of a Crown with a double lined "V" above crown. If it is #219 it will have a watermark of a Crown with a double lined "A" below crown.
I use a black plastic tray and watermark fluid to look for watermarks, but if you are lucky you can see it without the fluid.
Cheers!
