Stanley

We stayed in Stanley, Tasmania Australia along the North West Coast (map below) for several nights in March this year.  It was very windy most days.  The caravan park is lovely and we were placed on a good site but we couldn't get TV only one channel which kept breaking up, so our phones were used to watch TV mainly the news.

I've featured Stanley a few times in my blog but I'm at it again, this time with different photos of such a pretty place.

The Nut as it's called was discovered by Bass and Flinders in 1789.  The rock is a volcanic plug which forms when magma hardens, there are several of these volcanic plugs around the world.  The Nut is 152m above sea level and flat on the top.

Above is in front of the caravan park a good walking path, and below is our site in the park and only about 12 steps away from the beach.

Above photo is a view from the gift shop before you get on the chair lift to the top of the Nut plus you can see the cabins of the caravan park.  Below is the gift shop and parking area to either walk or hop on the chair lift to the top of the Nut.

Another beach just a stones throw from the caravan park. The white fence below is a very old graveyard which is beautifully kept and what a place to be laid to rest.
