After docking in Devonport this morning at 6.00 am and disembarking by 6.30am I started to make my way through the north coast of Tasmania.
Riding through the beautiful coastal towns of Ulverstone, Penguin, Burnie and Wynyard to finally reach Stanley were I will spend my first night under a Tasmanian sky.
Stanley is an old historic fishing town with a lot of charm. The main road in town is full of 19th century buildings that really take you back to what it would have been like when early settlers first came to this island.
A visit to the local cemetery really brings it home when you see all the headstones with lots of children and young people dying from decease and accidents.
But the thing you can not miss is the main attraction of the town, and that is "The Nut". The Nut is this huge rock outcrop that is visible for miles around and the best way to describe is like this....It's Uluru by the sea.
It's got it's own chair lift that takes you to the summit and it is a must if you're in town I reckon.
