==Location and features== With an elevation of approximately {{convert|440|m}} above sea level,{{citation needed|date=December 2013}} Brokers Nose, as it is more commonly known as, is located about {{convert|3|km}} west of {{NSWcity|Corrimal}} and about {{convert|5|km}} south-west of {{NSWcity|Bulli}}. At its summit, there is a transmission tower for primary networks of digital television. There is a dry-weather track leading to the top which starts from a small car park on the east side of Mount Ousley Road. Both track and summit are open to the public; the summit is protected as part of the Illawarra Escarpment State Recreation Area.

==Etymology== The name is vague in its origins and there are two possible explanations for it. One tells that an early settler named Brooker was the origin, the second that poor miners would take their families up to the summit for picnics, and they were brokers (poor people).{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}
