Here's the view to the north from the North Brother mountain, near Laurieton, NSW.
We were staying in North Haven, which is the more distant settlement, just over the bridge in the centre left of the top photo.
The view to the south, and to Crowdy Bay. Sydney is 300km or so further down the coast.
The other two brothers are nearby. Here's Wikipedia on their etymology:
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]By amazing coincidence, when Captain James Cook passed the area on 12 May 1770 he named the mountains Three Brothers, since "these Hills bore some resemblance to each other".[9][10]
