The Nut Chairlift
The core of an extinct volcano, this fascinating geological formation stands at 152 metres and towers above Stanley, providing stunning 360 degree views of the township, Bass Straight, and the Rocky Cape National Park .
Highfield Historic Site
Highfield Historic Site offers a historically accurate vision of a gentleman’s home and farm of the 1830s. It sits on a hillside overlooking the lands the manager would have once controlled, with views across to Stanley, The Nut and Bass Strait beyond. The house is being restored over time and its elegant Regency design, convict barracks, barns, stables, and a chapel are surrounded by a large ornamental garden.
