The Nut, Stanley

The Nut as it's called was discovered by Bass & Flinders in 1798. The rock is a volcanic plug which forms when the magma hardens, there are several or these volcanic plugs around the world.
The Nut is 152m above sea level and flat on top.  When we used to visit Stanley we would climb up the hill and walked on the top have magnificent views of land sea and sand.  Today there is a chair lift for those who do not wish to walk.

 Photos are all of The Nut taken from different places in Stanley, Tasmania.

      Thank you. Many times I've been there and the colour is always a little different.

      One can make a good half day trip of all day going up The Nut and taking photos, probably have to walk down it though at night time, be a bit dangerous as there would be no lighting.

      Clouds certainly make a different to the view, makes it more interesting.

    One of the cruise passengers we became friendly with lives in Ulverstone and I was trying to remember the name of this big rock. I eventually did and of course she knew it. I am pleased to hear there is a chairlift now. I would love to see it.

    Looks like a miniature version of Table Mountain, South Africa.
    The perfect tourist poster photos, Margaret.
    The Tassie Government will be employing your talents very soon.
