Looking Glass Bay is on the northern shore of Cowan Creek upstream of Baby Bay and opposite Cottage Point. Looking Glass Rock stands near the eastern entrance to the bay. Looking Glass Rock was presumably named because of its shape. Also 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.
