Hutt River (Western Australia)
Hutt River is a river in the Mid West region of Western Australia. The river rises east of the North West Coastal Highway, between Northampton and Binnu. It flows in a westerly direction until reaching Broken Anchor Bay on the Indian Ocean south-east of Port Gregory. The main tributary for the Hutt River is Kennedy Creek. Others are Yarder Gully and Swamp Gully, which are important contributors of fresh water to the river. Under normal flow, the Hutt River runs to the north for less than before breaking through the final dune and flowing to the sea. Under heavy flow it breaks straight through. Hutt Lagoon, north of the river mouth, is a marginal marine salina. Similar to Lake MacLeod, north of Carnarvon, Hutt Lagoon is fed by marine waters through a barrier ridge and by meteoric waters through springs. Due to the salina's below-sea-level position, seepage of seawater into the salina is continuous year round. History The first European to discover the river was probabl ...

Principality Of Hutt River
The Principality of Hutt River, often referred to by its former name, the Hutt River Province, was a micronation in Australia, proclaimed on 21 April 1970 when farmer Leonard Casley declared his farm to be a sovereign state, the "Hutt River Province". He claimed to have seceded from Australia, which occurred during his dispute with the authorities concerning wheat production quotas. A few years later, Casley began styling himself as "Prince Leonard" and granting family members royal titles, although he did not include the word "principality" in the official name until 2006. In 2017, Casley's claim to rulership was taken over by his son Graeme, who dropped the claim to sovereignty on 3 August 2020. The claimed territory was located north of Perth, near the town of Northampton in the state of Western Australia. It had an area of , making it larger than several recognised countries. It was not recognised as a country by the Australian Government nor any other national government ...
