The Prince of Western Australia - Travel Deeper Australia (Ep. 9)

There are a million things to do in Western Australia so I rented a car in Perth, and set out on a road trip! From the dunes of Lancelin, and Limestone rock formations of the Pinnacles Desert, to the Pink Lake and Kalbarri National Park heading north, Western Australia's landscape is absolutely stunning.

However, my goal was to travel deeper and learn more about the people who call this region home.

Thanks to the women at my Bed & Breakfast in Geraldton, I heard about one man in particular with an incredible story.

This man was Prince Leonard George Casley of Hutt River.
The Principality of Hutt River, previously known as the Hutt River Province, is a self-proclaimed micronation in Australia.

And although Australia doesn't recognize their independence, the principality claims to be an independent sovereign state and to have achieved legal status on 21 April 1970, after Prince Leonard didn't want to follow the new wheat quota laws.

As I mention in the video, he was a fascinating man!
