The Principality of Hutt River, previously known as the Hutt River Province, is the oldest micronation in Australia. The principality claims to be an independent sovereign state, although it remains unrecognized except by other micronations.
The principality is located 517 km north of Perth, near the town of Northampton.
The principality was founded on the 21st of April 1970 by Leonard George Casley[1] when he and his associates proclaimed their secession from the state of Western Australia
