Stanley and The Nut. And more seafood.



Thursday 21st September. Weather overcast but no rain. Time to climb the Nut. Tough going. Takes 45 mins to walk around at the top, but I’m sure we took longer. Wallabies live up there! We hopped on the chairlift to come back down. The lady seemed surprised that we needed to buy a ticket to get down. 'Did you walk up?' she said. 

Beer at the pub after, because we earned it, checked out their menu, and decide to have seafood pizza at Hursey’s for lunch and book in again for dinner. 

Drive around Stanley, Dovecote Rd up to the HA Lane Memorial Lookout, funny little raised platform, good view, then Old Cable Station, just accommodation now. Highfields Historic Site, didn’t go in, running out of time. More photos along Godfrey’s Beach, interesting rock shelf when the tide is out, almost tessellated but not quite, covered in short green weed. Give it another hundred years or so.

Back to Hursey’s for dinner. Mains only tonight, Cape Grim steak and a full serve of Tassie scallops cooked in garlic butter. Went halves in both. Very good. Ghost Rock Sauv Blanc tonight, preferred the Pinot Gris. I don't care what part of Tassie we come to next time, we're coming back here too!

We had laughed with Andrew and Mike at Hursey's that they should open for breakfast so we could have seafood three meals a day. They said NO! (strangely) but we figured it out without them. We had bought some oyster pate on Bruny, so we ate it on toast for breakfast today. Et voila! 3 seafood meals in one day!
