Mt Tamborine Protection Strategy 1.0 INTRODUCTION Tamborine Mountain is a 28 square kilometre plateau (8 km long by 4 km wide) and is located in the Scenic Rim local government area of South East Queensland. 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. This mountain was called Mt Tamborine, because of the Aboriginal Yugambehs who were living there at the time of white people arrival. White people heard these Aboriginals saying the name of a wild lime, Jambreen, and they thought that it sounded like “Tamborine”. Mt Tamborine has many animals and plants including fruit, black beans, possums, snakes, quolls, frogs, birds, and many others. Mount Tamborine has 1300mm of rain each year, has soil that is high in phosphorous, and is protected from wind and fire because of rain and a dense canopy of leaves. 2.0 Evaluation Mt Tamborine is in danger.
