The Tea Rooms

Out the back of the memorabilia building is the ‘tea rooms’. Certainly not much to look at and I don’t think they were open when I was there but they do provide drinks and light snacks.

This stone pier has a large piece of yellow ore on the top of it. This came from the mines in the Capricorn Range of W.A. The pier has some 26 minerals encased in it. Some of them are quite rare.

The Pyramid

Feeling a need for energizing? You can take yourself inside the Kings Chamber of the ‘Pyramid of Hutt’. This is a 5.3m timber framed pyramid which was commissioned by Prince Leonard in 2006. It was built by the specialists in the area of Pyramids and Pyramid Energy. Inside is the healing table. I can tell you though, in a 38C degree day, you don’t stay in there very long.

The chapel was designed by Prince Leonard and it has been used for investitures. The Prince also bestows knighthoods and titles. You can take the chance to sit on the royal thrones and pretend you are either Prince Leonard or Princess Shirley.

The Chapel of Nain

The small chapel was built by some of Prince Leonard’s sons and their carpenter friends.
It is a inter-denominational chapel. The religious paintings such as the last supper were painted by Frank Pash and actually depict the faces of those that built the chapel. Nice touch.

There are also many gifts that the principality has received from other Heads of State around the world. Also in the Memorabilia building are some collectables, gifts and postcards as well as some cold drinks which were much needed on a 40C day.

The principality has established its own historical society. Many records and occasions have been saved and are on display in this room. The Principality has some 300 works of art in their Royal Collection although not all are available for viewing.

Currency and Stamps

You can purchase some of their stamps sets and the various boxed commemorative coins that they have. They have their own currency. During the early years of their postal service, some Australian postmasters used to refuse to deal with the mail that came from the principality and forced the mail to be redirected going via Canada.

The Administration Building

keeweechic 10971 reviews

This small building is actually the Government Office as well as the Post Office. Take along your passport and get it stamped with an entry and exit stamp. The Prince will also show you some amazing things in your passport that you most likely have never seen before. You can also purchase a temporary visa for visiting and an international drivers license. If you are really interested, you can even obtain a citizenship and passport of the principality – at a price.

As you drive in you are confronted with a huge limestone bust of Prince Leonard. The bust was carved by Le Buse, an American born in Hawaii. He spent a week in the principality and carved the bust using an axe.
