Our gorgeous chef Eirik cooks up another storm
Wow. What a man. I have the utmost respect for this man and what he has done. At 84 he is as sharp as I can ever hope to be. We spent some time in his kingdom and during this time I learnt a lot. About him, about Australia, about injustice, about standing up for yourself and much, much more. Prince Leonard is an educator, a visionary, a jokester and the kind of guy you just want to hug.
Interviewing the Prince
I have met a lot of people who think he is crazy, that think he is taking advantage, that he is an egomaniac, and to all of them I would like to say that they are very likely an uninformed bunch that should take a real, hard look at what it actually is he has done and what he stands for. They might (and I presume they will) be surprised and not at least, educated on the subject. If they still think he’s a weirdo and do not agree with his ways, fine. I do.
Camping in Hutt RiverI am proud to have a Hutt River visa in my passport and my first ever Royal Invitation to come celebrate their 40th anniversary on April 21st 2010.
Eirik gets his Visa
Not much I could say would even start to do this man and his cause justice. I’ll refer again to The Inland Sea and the intro video there.

His kingdom now counts 13 000 citizens across the globe. I am hoping to become one of them. He has applied for Hutt River to become part of the UN and is currently waiting to take Australia to Haag to settle his claim on larger parts of Western Australia. My vote is for Prince Leonard. I really enjoyed my time there and would very much like to come back.
Hanging out with the Prince before departure
As you might gather I am quite overwhelmed still over everything we experienced there and will therefore (sadly) cut this short.
All hail the Prince!
