Nuts in Stanley

Stanley

We all fell in love with little town called Stanley. Weather has been kind enough to let us take stroll around town with small shops and beautiful old cementary, followed by a ride in the chair lift to the tiptop of The Nut, hike on the top ( very deceptive how large it is , takes good 45 min to walk around on the top of it) with some amazing views, bit of fishing and play in water, to finish up the day with penguin watching. What an amazing experience! Sitting in the dark for over an hour, awaiting those little little creatures  ( the only native Australian penguins) emerging from the water , very cautiously struggling through the rocks and up the banks , right pass all the people watching, the guide had a red torch so we could have a good look. Our two little penguins fell a sleep in our arms. Very heartwarming experience for us all:)

What a night!!! Did we sign up for "Survivor Tasmania"?🌪🌬💦

Well Tasmania welcome us with some serious rain and wind, it won't be a quiet and peaceful night. Hoping for better weather tomorrow. Despite the Mother Nature we went to Bass Strait Maritime Centre, 🍫  Factory, old Ford exbition. Drove around Devenport, few lovely coastal towns, lunch in Penguin 🐧 , to finish in Stanley. Hoping for a better weather to climb or  at least catch a chair lift to the top of The Nut - it looks spectacular from the bottom, despite rain and clouds.
