Principality of Hutt River has ended
Permalink  

I had passed along the highway, more than a dozen times, and never visited

Alas it is now too late

Copy and Paste

On 3 August 2020, it was announced that the Principality of Hutt River would be ceded back to Australia, and the Casley family farm would be sold to pay debts owed.

I visited Hutt River Principality in 2016 when on a van trip to WA,
I had the fortune and great pleasure to meet Prince Leonard and have him give me and my friends a bit of a tour around his headquarters.
What a lovely gentleman!
Cheers,
Roy.
