Even fairly recently it can still work: my address in 1967-9 was Mr. J D Coyle Island of St. Helena South Atlantic Ocean
Easy because the mail had to be picked up from the main Post Office in Jamestown. The island now has a postcode, but some mail still gets misdirected to California or South West Africa. Fortunately, the local St. Helena Island in Moreton Bay (off Brisbane) has no residents other than museum staff and thus very little mail, so causes no confusion in sorting offices.
