🧚✨ If fairies lived anywhere… we’re convinced this would be it.

Tucked away at the summit of The Nut is a peaceful little forest that feels like it’s been lifted straight from the pages of a storybook. Moss-covered trees, winding paths, birdsong echoing through the bush.. and a picnic table that’s just waiting for you to stop, take a breath and soak it all in. 🌿🍃

With the chairlift currently closed for its annual winter maintenance, now is the perfect excuse to take the walk to the top. The reward isn’t just the breathtaking coastal views - it’s discovering enchanting little places like this along the way. ✨🥾

Who else thinks this looks like the perfect place for a fairy village? 🧚🌳

🌅❄️ Winter mornings don’t get much better than this…

As the sun rises over Stanley, a blanket of mist settles across the town, creating a view that’s nothing short of magical from the summit of The Nut.

While the Nut Chairlift is currently closed for its annual winter maintenance, there’s never been a better excuse to lace up your walking shoes and experience the climb for yourself. 🥾

The crisp winter air, peaceful morning silence and breathtaking sunrise make every step worthwhile. And when you reach the top? You’ll be rewarded with panoramic views above the clouds, overlooking one of Tasmania’s most picturesque coastal towns. 🌊🏡

Sometimes the best adventures are the ones you earn.

Who’s adding an early morning walk up The Nut to their winter bucket list?

📍 The Nut Walking Track remains open throughout the chairlift maintenance period.
📸 Don’t forget your camera - you’ll want to remember this view!

🦭🐧 Wildlife Wednesday 🐬🐋

One of the best things about visiting Stanley? You never know what wildlife you’ll spot! 🤩

From playful Australian fur seals basking on the rocks below The Nut 🦭, to tiny Little Penguins waddling ashore at dusk 🐧, Stanley is bursting with incredible native wildlife.

Keep an eye on the ocean for dolphins playing in the waves 🐬, and if you’re visiting during migration season, you may even be lucky enough to spot a whale passing by! 🐋

On land, you’ll often come across Wallabies, echidnas and a variety of coastal birds that call this beautiful part of Tasmania home. 🦘🐦

Whether you’re riding the chairlift (when it’s open!) or making the walk to the summit, don’t forget to take a moment to slow down, soak up the scenery and keep your eyes peeled - you never know what incredible wildlife encounter is waiting around the corner. ❤️
