Brokers Nose or Mount Corrimal is the name of an outcrop of the Illawarra Escarpment west of Corrimal, New South Wales. Its summit is 440 metres above sea level and there is a television transmission tower atop it. There is a track leading to the top but both track and summit are not open to the public; the summit is protected as part of the Illawarra Escarpment State Recreation Area. The name is vague in its origins and there are three 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), and the third says that the cliff outcrop resembles the nose of a broker.

Famous quotes containing the word nose:
“I want to kiss God on His nose and watch Him sneeze
and so do you.
Not out of disrespect.
Out of pique.
Out of a man-to-man thing.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
