Stanley is a charming coastal town on Tasmania’s northwest coast, best known for its striking landmark — The Nut. This massive volcanic plug rises sharply from the sea, dominating the skyline and giving the town its unique character. You can walk or take the chairlift to the top, where panoramic views stretch across the Bass Strait and the rolling farmland below.
31615 The Nut, Stanley
The Nut is especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset, when the light softens across the cliffs and the bay turns to glass. Around town, the historic cottages, quiet streets, and fishing boats add to Stanley’s timeless appeal — it’s one of those places that feels calm, scenic, and perfectly Tasmanian.
