The remains of an ancient volcanic plug, The Nut is a spectacular windswept bluff that juts out into the waters of the Bass Strait. Rising 143 metres above sea level, it offers panoramic views of the northern coastline. Take the chairlift to the top and walk the leisurely two-kilometre circular track around the summit. From there you can take in the wild and beautiful beaches, green pastures, the Rocky Cape National Park and the historic village of Stanley – one of Tasmania’s prettiest coastal towns.
