Spectacle Island, Protected nature reserve in Mooney Mooney, Australia.
The 36-hectare island sits at the junction of Mooney Mooney Creek and Hawkesbury River, forming part of Brisbane Water National Park.
The island received its previous name 'Goat Island' from a herd of goats that inhabited the land before its designation as a nature reserve.
The land contains numerous Aboriginal heritage sites and preserves diverse vegetation representing the natural environment of the Central Coast region.
The New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service manages the island, maintaining its protected status and natural resources.
A cow once lived on the island and adapted to eating fish left behind by local fishermen at the shoreline.
