Explore the charm of coastal Tasmania in this exciting tour to the breathtaking town of Stanley with many special photo opportunities. As you travel to Stanley, a charming fishing village crowned by an unusual land formation best known as The Nut, enjoy beautiful coastal views of an area aptly called The Edge of the World.

Enjoy free time for lunch on your own, in one of the many friendly local establishments. Walk the quaint streets and perhaps take a look at the house where Australia's first Prime Minister was born!


Visit the Historic Highfield House, a homestead built from 1832-35 as the residence of the Company's chief agent, Edward Curr. The setting is perfect, with views across The Nut and Bass Straight. Enjoy a self-guided tour of the house, learning about the historic nature of this homestead.


Continue your scenic drive and stop at Table Cape Lookout. Take plenty of panoramic photos of the area before making you way back to the pier.
