Just five minutes from North Haven Holiday Village, Dooragan National Park and its towering peak, North Brother Mountain, offer some of the most spectacular scenery on the NSW Mid North Coast. Rising dramatically above the Camden Haven River, the summit rewards visitors with panoramic views stretching from Port Macquarie to Crowdy Bay, a truly unforgettable sight.
Spectacular Lookouts and Nature Trails
Drive or hike your way to the Laurieton Lookout, one of three stunning viewing platforms at the summit. On a clear day, you’ll see endless coastline, forested valleys, and the glimmering waterways of the Camden Haven Inlet below.
For those who love the outdoors, Dooragan National Park has walking trails to suit every level. The Rainforest Loop offers a short, shaded stroll through sub-tropical forest, while the Laurieton Track (3.7km one way) provides a more challenging hike from sea level to summit — perfect for active travellers chasing that sense of achievement.
Adventure, Culture and Wildlife
The mountain is also a significant site for the Birpai people, who have lived in and cared for this region for thousands of years. Keep an eye out for native wildlife along the trails — you might spot goannas, rosellas, or even a soaring wedge-tailed eagle riding the mountain’s thermals.
