Taffys Rock is named after Dorothy Townson who passed away on a bushwalk in Tasmania in 1948, after being bitten by a snake. More details here if you are interested. The first four kilometers from the Cowan station is along this section of the Great North Walk. The rest of the track is a spur heading East from the Great North Walk, terminating at Taffys Rock. The rock has great views in all directions, particularly of the Hawksbury River mouth and Lion Island.
