Located on the wild, awe-inspiring Circular Head coastline of Tasmania, Australia, just one hour's drive west of the city of Burnie, Stanley is a historic fishing town offering a multitude of attractions. Adventurers can take a hiking trail or chairlift up to the summit of 'The Nut', Stanley's most prominent landmark - a flat-topped volcanic plug that towers 143m over the town. Experience the astonishing vistas of the Bass Strait beaches and the town, or explore the lush, gorgeous Tarkine Wilderness Region, which offers a wonderland for horse riding, trail biking, canoeing, hiking and fishing among its spectacular eucalyptus forests, blackwood swamps and heathlands. Discover the area's culture by taking the award-winning Stanley Heritage Walk to see the fascinating Old Rectory or delving into the past at the Stanley Discovery Museum. Make sure to visit the beaches to see 'fairy' penguins, seals, seabirds and other wildlife.
