Meeting a Real Princess in the Principality of Hutt River

I had been researching exactly what to do on my upcoming trip to Western Australia (WA) when I came upon something extremely interesting – the Principality of Hutt River.  This principality it seems is an independent “sovereign” state located in Western Australia about 500km north of Perth.  Apparently around 40 years ago a farmer by […]

Shortly after that we were dropping off the rental car with 982.7k more than it started with and getting a quick ride to the terminal. We checked our bags, passed quickly through security, and got […]

Horses and Penguins
