Stanley Port & The Nut as backdrop, Stanley, Tasmania
The Nut at Stanley, Tasmania is the remnant of a volcanic plug. Mapped and named as Circular Head in 1798 by Matthew Flinders in the sloop "Norfolk" during his circumnavigation of Tasmania, the name has become commonly known as The Nut.
This deep-water fishing port lands and processes locally-caught crayfish, scallops and octopus as well as a wide range of other fresh fish. For the recreational fishers, Stanley wharf is the most popular fishing spot on the north west coast of Tasmania. Good catches of snotty trevally (blue warehou), Australian salmon, couta, mullet, leatherjacket, squid and even the odd yellowtail kingfish and shark are taken.
