Middle Brother
Location Mid North Coast , New South Wales , Australia

Three Brothers , three separate mountains of the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales , Australia , are situated approximately 360 kilometres (220 mi) north of Sydney .

Location and features [ edit ]

Collectively referred to as the Three Brothers, the mountains are three separate mountains named and located as follows:

The South Brother lies within the Mid-Coast Council local government area ; while the Middle and North Brothers are located with the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council area,

The North and Middle Brothers have been declared national parks , named Dooragan National Park and Middle Brother National Park respectively.

The main radio and television transmitters for the Mid North Coast region are located on the summit of Middle Brother. [7]

Etymology [ edit ]

The Australian Aboriginal local Birpai people tell a dreamtime story of three brothers who were killed by a witch called Widjirriejuggi and were buried where the mountains stand. The youngest of the three was Dooragan , that now carries the name for one of the national parks. [8]

Coincidentally, when Captain James Cook passed the area on 12 May 1770, he also named the mountains Three Brothers , since "these Hills bore some resemblance to each other". [9] [10] During his apprenticeship with John and Henry Walker, ship owners of Whitby, the second ship Cook served on was named Three Brothers. [11]
