Statement of Significance
The site is a prominent natural feature of the landscape.
The site is significant as a recreational site for early settlers. The area surrounding the rock is also notable as a flora and fauna sanctuary.
Physical Description
Located to the north west of the shire, between Boyerine and Cartmeticup, the rock has a large flat face at the summit sloping to the north, the highest point is in excess of 340 metres above sea level.
History
The name has probably been ascribed due to the size of the rock and majestic view from the summit. Panoramic views to the north can enjoyed as far as Mt Deception.
It became a popular picnic spot for the families in the area in the 1920's. Carts and wagons would wind their way around to the NNE corner of the rock. Here, at the foot of the rock, games and other social activities would take place.
The reserve has abundant wildflowers and is thickly timbered with sheoaks and jam trees. It is also the most easterly site of the Shire where red gums (eucalyptus marri) grow. Part of the reserve was used as a Shire gravel pit. This has since been rehabilitated.
