'''Mount Coree''' (formerly known as Pabral) is a [[mountain]] with an elevation of {{convert|1421|m}} {{AHD}} that is located within the [[Brindabella Range]] on the border between the [[Australian Capital Territory]] and [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. The summit of the mountain is located in the Australian Capital Territory.

==Location and features==
The mountain is situated in the [[Brindabella National Park]] on the NSW side and in the [[Namadgi National Park]] on the ACT side. The mountain marks the point where the ACT border changes from a straight north-easterly line to being judged by the watershed of the [[Cotter River]], and the Coree Trigonometrical Station on top of it is officially mentioned as such in the {{Cite Legislation AU|Cth|act|sogaa1909265|Seat of Government Acceptance Act, 1909}} which established the borders of the ACT.

Before European settlement, the mountain was used by [[Indigenous Australian]] tribes to hunt for [[bogong moths]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.australianalps.deh.gov.au/parks/brindabella.html|title=Australian Alps National Parks, Brindabella|work=Department of Environment and Heritage|publisher=[[Government of Australia]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050614070829/http://www.australianalps.deh.gov.au/parks/brindabella.html|archive-date=14 June 2005|url-status=dead}}</ref> Coree is an aboriginal name for moth.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/tools_resources/maps_land_survey/place_names/place_search?sq_content_src=%2BdXJsPWh0dHAlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuYWN0bWFwaS5hY3QuZ292LmF1JTJGUGxhY2VOYW1lcyUyRlBsYWNlRGV0YWlscy5hc3B4JTNGb2JqZWN0SUQlM0Q2NzIxJmFsbD0x |title=ACT Planning & Land Authority |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110315221850/http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/tools_resources/maps_land_survey/place_names/place_search?sq_content_src=%2BdXJsPWh0dHAlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuYWN0bWFwaS5hY3QuZ292LmF1JTJGUGxhY2VOYW1lcyUyRlBsYWNlRGV0YWlscy5hc3B4JTNGb2JqZWN0SUQlM0Q2NzIxJmFsbD0x |archive-date=March 15, 2011 }}</ref> Mount Coree was originally shown as "Pabral" on an 1834 map of [[Thomas Mitchell (explorer)|Major Sir Thomas Mitchell]], an Australian [[Colony of New South Wales|colonial]] explorer.<ref name=Pabral>{{cite web|url=http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/tools_resources/place_search2?sq_content_src=%2BdXJsPWh0dHAlM0ElMkYlMkYyMDMuOS4yNDkuMyUyRlBsYWNlTmFtZXMlMkZQbGFjZURldGFpbHMuYXNweCUzRm9iamVjdElEJTNENTM5MTYmYWxsPTE%3D|title=Coree, Mount|work=Environment and Sustainable Development|publisher=[[ACT Government]]|access-date=11 October 2013}}</ref>
