Tamborine Mountain

The mountaintop rainforest community of Tamborine Mountain – comprising Eagle Heights, North Tamborine and Mt Tamborine – is 45km inland from the Gold Coast beaches. It has cornered the arts-and-craft, Germanic-kitsch, package-tour, chocolate-fudge-liqueur market in a big way – if this is your bag, Gallery Walk in Eagle Heights is the place to stock up.
