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.
does the address given here for aat still work? http://stamps.mybalconyjungle.com/antarctic_covers/aat.html
ReplyDeleteIf you found an updated address on the Australian Antarctic Program website certainly go with that one:

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

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