Power first: it is the one fact on this page a resident checks in a hurry, and Stanley's own record of the April 2026 outage is why. Bin day sits second as a card.

Bin Day
Which bins go out in Stanley and when — general waste and FOGO one Friday, recycling the next, with what goes in each and Council's own address lookup.
Penguins Tonight
When little penguins come ashore at Godfreys Beach, what time to be on the platform tonight, and how to watch without harming them.
Getting Here & Getting Back
Stanley's one bus a day: Route 768 to Smithton and Burnie, when it leaves, the fare, and the community transport to book ahead if you have no car — so you don't get stranded.
The Moon & the Tides
Tonight's moon and whether the tide is running big (spring) or small (neap), with the day's sunrise and sunset — the water's rhythm under the Nut. Not a tide table; the Bureau's free one is linked.
Stanley on Foot
Two short self-guided walks: an easy loop through the colonial town and working harbour, and the steep climb up the Nut — with honest timing, effort grades and local etiquette.
