Stanley’s main street is a treasure trove of beautifully restored 19th century homes, and Lyons Cottage is no exception. The tiny workers cottage was the birthplace of Joseph Lyons, Premier of Tasmania from 1923 to 1928. ‘Honest Joe’ went on to become the state’s first, and only, Australian Prime Minister, leading the country from 1932 until his death in 1939.
