Janelle was on days off so we decided to go north to Stanley. Stanley is famous for 'The Nut', a volcanic plug jutting up & providing views of the little town and the many bays that surround Stanley. While the walk to the top was only 460m long, we had been warned of its steepness. And they weren't wrong ! An extremely steep climb, especially for Zane who had Stella on his back. At the top we quickly forgot about the climb and enjoyed the spectacular views. Fortunate that we'd come that day, as we found out the track would be closed the next day (for a week) for maintenance. We met another couple at the top, with two young children. We chatted and compared travelling stories while Stella and her new friend played in the dirt and threw rocks. We walked the circular track back to the bottom, spotting numerous pademelons and the holes they had dug looking for young shoots & plants to eat. Back in Stanley we stopped for coffee and a milkshake. Zane & Stella went off to the Seaquarium while Janelle wandered through the cute shops & the museum. After lunch (Zane had to get the seafood pie!) we headed back home to Sisters beach for an early night.
