Stanley, Coastal town in Circular Head, Tasmania, Australia
Stanley sits at the base of a volcanic plug named The Nut, which rises 150 meters above sea level and connects to mainland via a 7-kilometer isthmus.
The Van Diemen's Land Company established Stanley in 1826 as a port settlement, naming it after Lord Stanley, British Secretary of State for War and Colonies.
The Stanley Discovery Museum presents exhibits about maritime traditions, agricultural development, and the region's connection to Prime Minister Joseph Lyons.
Visitors reach the summit of The Nut through a chairlift system or walking track, offering views across Bass Strait and the northwestern Tasmanian coastline.
The commercial fishing port maintains a fleet of vessels that supply fresh seafood directly to local restaurants and markets throughout the year.
