Geography
North Tamborine is 72 kilometres (45 mi) south of Brisbane,[2] and 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the Gold Coast.
Prior 2008, it was part of the Beaudesert Shire, in the Gold Coast hinterland.[2]
History
Land in Tambourine North was first sold in 1875, with the first settler being John O' Callaghan.[2]
Sugar-growing began in 1885, but soon after, a flood hit, which halted the industry.[2]
Many early settlers grew maize and grazed dairy cattle.[3] The first guesthouse on the mountain was opened in 1889.[3]
The town was connected by rail in 1915; the line closed in 1936.[2]
A tourist road to the mountain was completed in 1924.[3] 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.[4]
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.[5]
