North Tamborine is a suburb on Tamborine Mountain in South East Queensland.
Many early settlers grew maize and grazed dairy cattle.[1] The first guesthouse on the mountain was open in 1889.[1]
A tourist road to the mountain was completed in 1924.[1] 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.[2]
A section of Tamborine National Park known as The Knoll protects forests found in the north of the suburb.
