Stanley Tasmania
Just 15 minutes drive from your accommodation at Tall Timbers, Stanley boasts one of Tasmania’s truly iconic attractions – “The Nut” – a volcanic plug deposited millions of years ago. Visitors can ride the chairlift to the top or follow the path to the top of this geological feature. There are great walking tracks atop the Nut, and all around Stanley so take some comfortable shoes and a jacket…after all Stanley does protrude 7 kilometres out into the Bass Strait, so it can get pretty windy sometimes!
As birthplace and home to Tasmania’s only Prime Minister, Joe Lyons, Stanley is a historic seaside village that will excite and stimulate your senses and with so many things to experience and look at, you will not be bored. Visit the old Cemetery, the Seaquarium, and Highfield House, the old Van Diemen’s Land homestead, beautifully renovated to draw you in to the history of each room and experience the life of the occupants from a completely different aspect.
Observe the history:
Construction started in 1832 for the Van Diemen’s Land Company chief agent Edward Curr.
Later additions by John Lee Archer, a colonial architect, were built over two years to 1845.
