Stanley - Tasmania
Stanley is a quaint seaside village nestled under the Nut, an immense flat-topped, volcanic plug rising one hundred and fifty metres from the water's edge. It is located on the North West Coast of Tasmania, 125 kilometres West of Devonport and 225 kilometres from Launceston.
You can wander around the town admiring the fabulous, well-preserved colonial cottages and buildings, visit the historic Highfield house or ride on the chairlift to the top of the Nut.
Enjoy three hundred and sixty-degree views over Stanley from the various lookouts along the two-kilometre walking track around the top of the Nut.
Take a step back in time and explore Highfield House, a wonderfully restored gentleman’s home and farm from the 1830s.
Watch the Little Penguins from the viewing platform at Godfrey’s beach as they waddle ashore each evening.
A short drive from Stanley, you can explore Dip Falls, Rocky Cape National Park, Trowutta Arch and the Tarkine Wilderness.
