About North Tamborine
North Tamborine is a town (and former suburb)
on Tamborine Mountain in South East
Queensland, Australia.
Many early settlers grew maize and grazed
dairy cattle. The first guesthouse on the
mountain was open in 1889.
A tourist road to the mountain was completed
in 1924. The road brought visitors to the area
and the North Tamborine village became the
centre for social and business activities. North
Tamborine Post Office opened by 1922.
A section of Tamborine National Park known as
The Knoll protects forests found in the north of
the suburb.
Formerly a suburb in its own right, in 1997,
North Tamborine was merged with other
former suburbs Eagle Heights and Mount
Tamborine to create the larger locality of
Tamborine Mountain.
