History
The SCA in Australia began with a local SCA inspired group, "The Society for the Current Middle Ages"(SCMA) holding its first event in November 1980 The SCMA joined the US based SCA in Sydney around 1981, and in Christchurch shortly after. Other cities in both countries formed groups, but the New Zealand groups became part of the Kingdom of Caid, while Australia became the Crown Principality (and later the Principality) of Lochac under The West Kingdom. Lochac became a kingdom its own right in 2002, and the New Zealand based groups joined in 2003.
