Principality of Hutt River
Hutt River is an Independent Sovereign State having
seceded from Australia on 21st of April 1970 and is
of comparable size to Hong Kong.
The principality consists of undulating farm
land well covered with a wealth of shrubs and glorious
wild flowers.
H.R.H Prince Leonard, a keen supporter of both the
Arts and Conservation, has named parts of the Principality
Lake Beginning, Mount Secession, Lake Serenity
and Wild Bear Gorge. His town site, Nain, has
been developed with many buildings to provide facilities
for the tourists who visit in their thousands each year.
This includes Administration Building, Government
Office and Post Office, Tea Rooms, Swimming Pool
and Inter-Denominational Chapel as well as the Arcade
housing the Memorabilia Dept. and Historical displays
and of course the Sovereigns Reception building.
It is perhaps of interest to note that W.A. was actually
never proclaimed by Captain Stirling as British
Territory, as was required of him under his Letter Patent
He only proclaimed A Settlement the Swan Settlement.

We spent 2 lovely day's mixing with Prince
Leonard and his son Graham (he had 7 children
in total) and lost his wife in the last 12 months.
