Postage stamps and postal history of the Australian Antarctic Territory

Postage stamps and postal history of the Australian Antarctic Territory

Australia issues postage stamps for the Australian Antarctic Territory. The first issues came in 1957, and sporadically thereafter, settling into a pattern of an annual issue by the 1990s. All have been Antarctic-themed, and all are valid for postage in Australia, so in practice they are just Australian stamps with a different inscription.
