I didn't know you had a micronation in Australia, it was just a little fun fact and a learning experience for me
It has been an exciting week for Prince Graeme I, the newly crowned "monarch" of a micronation in Australia.

More than 45 years ago his father, Prince Leonard, claimed to have seceded the family farm amid a dispute with the government over wheat quotas.
He declared his 18,500-acre property, 500km (300 miles) north of Perth, its own country: the Principality of Hutt River.
It created its own tax system and laws, issued by a government of five ministers. It has its own currency, stamps and passports - 8,000 are held by "dual nationals" - and a population of about 30 people.
