North Brother Mountain Track

The main track from Laurieton to the lookout is well beaten.There are other loops you can do from the summit. These don't go anywhere in particular, but are a walk (for those into hiking). Sometimes the track is obvious, other times a GPS is needed to keep on the old track. Expect it to be overgrown - fun though.You own insect repellent (take it with you) is necessary, as well as table salt, for the leeches.

Honestly pretty difficult. I couldn't find any water source at the top, so I recommend that you bring plenty. I did it during coldish summer weather, and it was the perfect temperature.

Wow that was great. Very steep, loads of stairs, many stops along to catch my breath and take a photo. Make sure you take water and wear hiking shoes. It's all worth it for the stunning view at the top.

This is an epic walking track. Be prepared for one steep ascent. It just keeps going there are alot of steps and it is a really amazing challenge. Reaching the top is extremely rewarding and i love running back down again it takes way less time lol. The beach to brother trail run finished here and is 100 worth doing if you like to run. The view makes it worth the effort and its best to wear trail shoes or good hiking boots with grip as there are lots of parts with gravel or loose dirt so it makes it alot easier to go up or down with the right shoes. One of my favourite trails and views. Lots of trees to hang on to for the steep steps as well. Expect alot of steps and very few moments of relief from the ascent. Thats why I love this track. You do get glimpses of the view as you make the way up too, which just motivates you to get to the top.

This is a great short walk, I like walking here and it's beautiful to experience the different seasons and weather conditionsAlso like to show our visitors this track , together with the views from the top of North brother mountain make this a great little trip

Absolutely beautiful! Loved every bit of it. Is amazing being able to start down the bottom of the hill not being able to grasp the sheer height you are about to climb and then when you get to the top the view is like nothing else

Great track for people into Hiking. It is quite steep for general walking purposes, but gives you a real sense of being in forest rather than bush. Be aware of leeches as many mentioned as it can come from nowhere. It happened to my wife and she almost screamed her heart out and I thought she was bitten by a snake or something. The view on the top is worth the effort. Or you can drive to the top if you are not into exercise or hiking.

Beautiful trail, took us as experienced hikers around 1,5 hours due to the warm weather. View on top is amazing, watch out for Leechs and check your shoes after the walk

If you are going up or down the Pacific Highway, just south of Port Mac then drop into to Laurieton, you won't be disappointed. I went there to run up Big Brother via the Mountain Track. Hard push up but the views are oh so good at the top. Well worth the effort.
