TypeOtherDetailsAt the downstream entrance to Looking Glass Bay in Cowan Creek. A fallen rock slab standing vertically in the water; presumably named because of its shape. On the longest day, the rising sun illuminates the rock so that it shines like a mirror. There is a story that the local Aborigines believed that when the water rose to cover the rock the white men would leave.
