Dooragan National Park, North Brother, NSW.

View from Laurieton Lookout on the summit of North Brother mountain.

Dooragan National Park protects North Brother Mountain near Laurieton and Camden Head in coastal New South Wales. Access is sign posted off Ocean Drive, via Captain Cook Bicentennial Drive. The road is sealed, narrow, windy and steep but finishes at a large car park in front of Laurieton Lookout. The views from the lookout are so captivating that people just stand there mesmerized.

There is a picnic area with a large shelter and tables.

We saw lots of (young) people resting at the lookout after running up the Laurieton Summit Walking Track which is 3 km one way, Grade 4. Definitely a track for the very fit!

We chose to do the Rainforest Loop which is only 600 meters but is still a Grade 4 track. This is a nice forest trail with a couple of lookouts.
