Devonport to Stanley

The first day was started early. The Spirit of Tasmania arrived in Devonport before 8am. We had breakfast at a small cafe near the dock, had a quick look around Devonport before driving west along the north coast of Tasmania to Stanley.

We passed through some lovely towns on the way and saw some beautiful rural scenes around Stanley. There is a chair-lift at Stanley that goes to the top of "The Nut", a 152 metre circular headland that overlooks the town. There's also a walking path to the top. From the top, you can see fantastic views of the surrounding country side, the sea and the town of Stanley.



Above are some shops in Stanley.

After exploring Stanley, we headed out to see the surrounding countryside. These are some pictures of a farm with rustic bluestone buildings and some colonial ruins.
