Certificates
A special Certificate was brought out for giving of Appointments, expressing to a person any high degree of gratitude, or for a special invitation.
To express our pleasure for the comfort and attentions received on the Ansett ANA flight which took Prince Leonard and Princess Shirley to South Australia for their first Royal Visit to that State, on behalf of the Province Prince Leonard gave Certificates to the crew and hostesses aboard.
Certificates of bestowal or investiture of peerages or Knighthoods are also issued following the official act.

Appointments
We quote from Robert Drewe in his column "Perspective" in The Australian of Friday, August 17, 1973:
"In a quietly impressive ceremony near Adelaide yesterday our favourite royal family, Prince Leonard and Princess Shirley of Hutt River Province, appointed Angle Vale Wineries official suppliers of wines to the Royal Household.
"This is the first such honour bestowed by the Royal Family on a company since they seceded . . . in 1970.
"After touring the vineyard and winery the Prince and Princess, who are in Adelaide on a Royal visit, conferred the honour on Pat Auld, Angle Vale's managing director."
A line of eight wines has been commissioned thus far.
Sir Richard Marshall was appointed as Consul pro tem pending official acceptance of his credentials. Meanwhile Sir Richard is representing the Province in South Australia. The Provincial Flag is being flown at the Consulate where Sir Richard is in residence.

Honours Bestowed
Four peerages were created in 1973 and are in accordance with the Book of Peerage of the Hutt River Province. These were the expression of a desire to give some recognition to these people who not only had contributed or had qualities worthy of high recognition, but were also extremely active in advising us on many subject matters. Thus when considering giving such recognition the fact that an Earl is categorised as an advisor made it quite appropriate to bestow three of these people with Earldoms. The Earldoms created are:
"Earldom of Phoenix" was bestowed upon Robert David Pope on 12th April, 1973. Mount Secession is in an area of land which is designated as the Earldom of Phoenix. This rock outcrop predominates the whole of the central valley of this Principality.
"Earldom of Nain" was bestowed upon Frank Burrill Pash on 12th April, 1973. The Chapel of Nain is in an area of land designated as the Earldom of Nain which is situated in a prominent position looking out over the central valley. Perhaps God may have blessed this Chapel, of which more is written elsewhere in this booklet.
"Earldom of Astron" was bestowed upon Margaret Amelia Isobel Sheen on 27th May, 1973. Lake Serenity, a small lake on the higher elevations of the Province, is in an area designated as the Earldom of Astron. On this lake gather water birds of various species, enjoying the serenity of their sanctuary. At times mankind must envy some of the serenity of nature which he himself does not always capture.

"Baronetcy of Tucson" was bestowed upon John Steven Whatley on 15th November, 1973. Lord Whatley is a United States citizen and is Postmaster General of this Principality. The Valley of Tucson, in which a lake is proposed to be formed, constitutes the Barony.
