Great Nature Trail, Tasmania

Weave your way from the start of this trail through mountains, valleys and picturesque coastal villages until you reach one of the prettiest towns in Australia, the fishing village of Stanley. It begins with the craggy, misty mountains of the Western Tiers; then towards Devonport, lush green pastures where dairy cows produce the milk that makes Tasmania’s famed cheeses. Follow the edge of Bass Strait past pretty seaside villages, penguin rookeries, seal colonies, a platypus habitat, tulip fields, sandy coves, and tasty cheese outlets until you see The Nut - a huge volcanic plug on the horizon at Stanley.
