Local Aboriginal legend tells of the death of three brothers. North Brother Mountain, at the heart of the park, is the resting place of Dooragan, the youngest. The mountain supports a wide range of vegetation communities - including some of the best examples of old growth blackbutt forest in NSW and pockets of sub-tropical rainforest - that provide habitat for gliders, bats and koalas and offer unbeatable views up and down the NSW coast.
Enjoy some of the most spectacular views along the entire coast from three lookouts on top of North Brother Mountain. North Brother Mountain, at the heart of this park, relates to Aboriginal legends of the death of three brothers (including Dooragan, the youngest).
