Stanley Australia

Stanley is a town of perfectly preserved colonial buildings, genteel cafes and quality B&B cottages, all sheltering in the imposing shadow of the Nut, an immense flat topped, volcanic plug rising 150 metres straight up from the water's edge. Stanley has plenty of fascinating stories, too. You can take a history tour through Stanley's streets, lined with quaint stone cottages dating back to the town's early days when it hosted the headquarters of the Van Diemen's Land Company or visit Highfield Historic Site, home and farm of the chief agent of the Van Dieman's Land Company, on a ghost tour at night, or wait for the safety of daylight to learn how the area's first European settlers lived.
