Broughton Island is an island 14 km north-east of Port Stephens, New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the Myall Lakes National Park.((map) )〔 〕 ==History== Archaeology indicates that the Worimi people inhabited the island for at least 2,000 years, but their name for it does not seem to have been recorded. It lay within the territory of the Garrawerrigal branch (''nurra'') of the Woromi.〔W.J. Enright, "The Kattang (Kutthung) or Worimi: An Aboriginal Tribe", ''Mankind,'' vol. 1, no. 4 March 1932. R.V.S. Wright, "Broughton Island, NSW: recent prehistoric use of an offshore ocean island", ''Australian Archaeology,'' no.3, October 1975, p.18-23.

John Armstrong, ''Yacaaba and Tomaree: A History of Port Stephens,'' Port Stephens (N.S.W.), Port Stephens Council, rev. ed., 1996.〕 "Garrawerrigal" meant "the people of the sea", from ''garoowa''=sea.〔W.J. Enright, "The language, weapons and manufactures of the aborigines of Port Stephens", ''Journal and proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales,'' volume XXXIV, 1900, pp.103-118, pp.104 and 111.〕 ''Niritba'' was "the home of the mutton bird" in their language.〔Desiree Sutherland, ''Garoowa Coastal Sea Country Report,'' Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park, 2011, p.23.()〕 Broughton Island was seen by James Cook commanding HM Bark ''Endeavour'' on 11 May 1770: he mistook it for a headland and called it Black Head.〔James Cook, ''The Voyage of The Endeavour, 1768-1771,'' edited by J. C. Beaglehole, Cambridge, Hakluyt Society, 1968, pp.12-14, 314.〕 After its insularity was discovered, it was renamed Broughton Islands, and so appears on the 1852 Admiralty chart, ''Australia, East Coast. Broken Bay to Sugarloaf Point, from a running survey by Captn. J. Lort Stokes, H.M.S. Acheron, 1851''.〔 Providence Bay also appears for the first time on this chart. Nearby Port Stephens was surveyed by Commander William Broughton in HMS ''Providence'' in August 1795.〔 〕〔 Andrew David (ed.), ''William Robert Broughton's Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific 1795-1798,'' Introduction by Barry M. Gough, Hakluyt Society 3rd series, no.22, London, Ashgate, 2010, Introduction, p.v. ISBN 0-904180-97-2. 〕 Stokes appears to have named the island and bay after Broughton and his ship, perhaps on the advice of his friend, Phillip Parker King, who was then residing at Tahlee in Port Stephens and had surveyed the coast in a private capacity.〔 〕〔Journal of Captain John Lort Stokes, HMS ''Acheron'', on the surveying voyage from Plymouth to New Zealand, 1848 to 1851, transcribed by Sheila Natusch, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, MRF/113.
