Stanley

Overview

Stanley is rich in history but its importance as a port has faded through time. Now Stanley is a quaint little fishing port that relies heavily on tourism. Tourists flock to this small peninsula for its remarkable geological feature, it's beautifully preserved colonial buildings and fresh boutique seafood. The Nut offers 360° views from the top. It is a strenuous hike that takes you 150 meters above the sea where you can marvel at Tasmania's beautiful and rugged northwest coastline. Or you can opt to take the chairlift if the steep hike is too much. Be sure to look below for sea lions basking in the sun and tiny Penguins coming back from a day's hunt out in the Bass Strait.
