Northampton to Perth

Up at 6.30, breakfast at 7am, on the road by 7.30. Drove for half an hour to Hutt River Province to meet Prince Leonard. It is a sovereign state that seceded from Australia in 1970, and has its own currency, stamps, and flag. Yes, they're nutters - it's basically a tax dodge. I had a photo taken on the royal throne.

We drove on to have a short stop at a fuel station in Geraldton, and then on to a wildlife park at Greenough. It's a privately-owned rescue and rehabilitation centre. I remember handling a python in the sun at a picnic table, but not much else.

Then to lunch in Port Denison near Dongara. We had a short stop at Cataby, and dropped Harri at the station. Mike and I got back to the hotel at 5.30.

We did some washing and made some calls, and had dinner at Fishy Affair. After watching the Mummy Returns, we went to sleep at 11.20pm.
