At the start of the walking track on the Nut, you’ll find Nut Rock Café & Souvenirs, perfectly located next to the Chairlift and boasting a large car park for your convenience. Relax with a light lunch or indulge in delicious Tasmanian ice cream before or after your climb. Nut Rock Café & Souvenirs are famous for their Tasmanian Scallop pies available as mornay or the Tasmanian specialty a Curried Scallop Pie.

Be sure to browse the incredible range of souvenirs and crafts, including unique ‘Nut’ memorabilia including magnets, badges, and the iconic “I Climbed The Nut” T-shirts and certificates – the perfect way to commemorate your adventure.

Discover the stunning natural wonder of The Nut, the plug of an ancient volcano that formed over 25 million years ago. Known for its fascinating history, The Nut is thought to have the Aboriginal name “munatrik” or “moo-nut-re-ker.” Its nickname, “The Nut,” may also come from an 1892 event when explosives failed to make a dent during breakwater construction, leading locals to call it a “Hard Nut to Crack.”

Providing the picturesque backdrop for Stanley, The Nut offers breathtaking views from every angle. Take the popular walking track to the top – just a 15-minute climb – and enjoy a 2.7 km walk around the summit that takes about 45 minutes – or take the Chairlift.

From the top, take in stunning coastal panoramas, a bird’s-eye view of the charming Stanley township or watch fishing boats heading out for their catch.

Whether you take on the climb or ride the Chairlift, The Nut is an unmissable part of your Stanley experience. Come explore, enjoy, and celebrate this ancient volcanic marvel.
