Stanley at the northern coast

Stanley is a romantic town with a population of 553 citicen sitting on a slender sliver of land jutting out into the Bass Strait on Tasmania's northwest coast. It is remarkable for its incredibly well-preserved colonial buildings and its massive volcanic plug. The plug rises 150 metres out of the water and it dominates the small town skyline.

In 1825 the English Van Diemen's Land Company was granted land in north-western Tasmania Van Diemen's Land, including the Stanley area.
Employees of the company from England settled in the area in October 1826.
It was named after Lord Stanley, the British Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in the 1830s and 1840s, who later had three terms of office as British Prime Minister.

    So wie die Siedlung gebaut ist suchten die Leute hinter dem Berg Schutz vor dem Meer, dem Wind, vor Seeräubern vielleicht.
    Sehr interessant.
