At the Dog Rock, can you see why it got named so?
There are few stories surrounding this but the most famous is that of a settler Silverthorne and his wife who left their daughter at home to meet an arriving mail ship.
When they returned, they found their daughter surrounded by tribal natives but their dog, Victor, was there and barked ferociously that the aborigines who reacted by throwing spears at it.
The Silverthornes then buried the dog on the western slope of Mt Clarence but a wild storm that night washed the grave away.
The next day however, the granite boulder in the shape of a Spaniel's head mysteriously appeared. |
