It is approximately 600 meters above sea level and about 80km South of Brisbane. Mt Tamborine is a hot, moist and humid part of Australia with no extremes of temperatures. Trees and plants such as ferns, cycads and pines are found on Mt Tamborine.

Rainforests are slowly dying out because of deforestation, pollution and the use of too many fossil fuels. People are not looking after rainforests, and as a result of this, the rainforests will start to die. This report has been put together to provide management strategies to protect the rainforests on Mt Tamborine. Three strategies have been put together, as seen in Table 1, showing the positives and negatives of three important criteria. These strategies prove protective to rainforests, not costly, and acceptable to the community such as bushwalkers and
