Explore Mount Tamborine, Queensland, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Mount Tamborine, QLD map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mount Tamborine, Queensland, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Queensland or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Mount Tamborine and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Mount Tamborine.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Mount Tamborine is a locality in Queensland, Australia. It has a population of approximately 7,675. It sits at an elevation of around 525 m above sea level. It lies approximately 58 km south-south-east of Brisbane. Mount Tamborine is located at 27.9695°S, 153.1994°E. It observes Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) - no daylight saving.
Mount Tamborine rises as a basaltic plateau from the coastal plain, catching the moisture of the Pacific in its cool, eucalypt-draped canopy. It lies 13.4 km south-west of Upper Coomera, QLD (from Upper Coomera, QLD: bearing 221°T), and is situated 14.9 km west-south-west of Helensvale. The air here holds a permanent, thin dampness, smelling of damp earth and crushed ferns even when the valleys below shimmer in the heat. Tall, pale trunks of flooded gums stand as sentinels over the steep escarpment, where the land drops away into deep, shadowed gullies carved by the ancient force of water. At dusk, the light turns a bruised, soft violet, softening the jagged edges of the volcanic caldera and casting long, indigo shadows that stretch toward the distant gold of the coastline. The rhythm of Mount Tamborine is dictated by the slow migration of fog, which rolls over the ridge to blur the distinction between the forest edge and the quiet, winding roads.
European settlement began here when timber-getters sought the rich stands of cedar and beech, their axes ringing through the mountain long before the first orchards took hold. This agricultural heritage persists in the orderly rows of avocado and kiwi fruit trees that thrive in the rich, dark soil, though the economy has shifted toward a quiet, steady stream of visitors drawn to the galleries and cool-climate vineyards. Mount Tamborine retains a distinct character shaped by its isolation from the bustle of the coast, where local life orbits around the small, clustered centres of shops and the preserved pockets of national park that protect the remnants of the rainforest. The stillness of the afternoon is often punctuated by the sharp, metallic call of a whipbird or the heavy, rhythmic thrum of cicadas, a sound that settles over the plateau like a fine, golden dust.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Mount Tamborine, Queensland. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Mount Tamborine.
Detailed location data for Mount Tamborine includes the postcode, telephone area code (07). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Mount Tamborine is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
