From the NSW Parks web site:
"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."
This trig was an unexpected discovery while doing the trio of caches on this moutain. There are 3 lookouts and a wonderful 500 metre rainforest trail centred on a carpark that was constructed to commemorate the bicentennial of Captain Cook sighting this peak in 1770. People paraglide off this peak and the trees have been trimmed from one of the lookouts for this purpose.
