Gold Coast Hinterland
Tamborine Mountain is a unique tourist destination that has some of the most beautiful scenery in the Gold Coast Mountain Range. The sunsets and waterfalls are a photographer’s delight. Mt Warning was named by Captain Cook and is known as Wollumbin by Australia's indigenous people. The mountain and surrounding area remains a scared site to the Bundjalung people. As with other parks in the area, Mt Warning National Park has miles of beautiful scenery. Situated on Tamborine Mountain in the Gold Coast Hinterland, this cluster of galleries and craft shops provides a wealth of diverse art and craft including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, porcelain, glass, jewellery, woodwork, fabrics and much more. From fine art to the frivolous, you will find something to suit all tastes and budgets. You can enjoy coffee, light refreshments or lunch at one of the fine restaurants and cafes.
You can climb the mountain which is close to a five hour hike or 8.8 km to the summit and admire the spectacular view from the top. The last leg is a climb using a chain up a steep incline. It's a lot of fun but if you're not used to hiking it's very challenging. There is a 500m walk at the bottom of the mountain for those wanting to take it easy.
