If you found an updated address on the Australian Antarctic Program website certainly go with that one:

Ms A Example – Davis Station (or Casey, Davis, Mawson or Macquarie Island)
Australian Antarctic Division
PO Box 385
KINGSTON
TAS 7050

https://www.antarctica.gov.au/antarctic-operations/family-and-friends/introductory-package/mail-closing-dates/

It has been a few (several) years since I've updated the addresses on that Antarctic addresses page.

This is interesting:

Always nice to see the actual post office that will get your mail.

ever tried getting a postmark from the Indian base? I haven't found much about the process on the internet...

A couple of times, years ago. Never got anything back. But I was always writing to the department that manages the Indian Antarctic program, in India. After reading that Bharati station mail goes through Davis, I think I'll try that next time. Maybe send a cover with Australian stamps on it and assume it goes back out through Davis as well. Too late to try it this season though. Have to wait until fall/winter.
