all facilities on site!

“Discover Tamborine Mountain” Map Reference D4

This small park is located within the busy North Tamborine shopping precinct, just a few meters off “Main Western Road”.  Its close proximity to all types of shopping makes it the ideal respite area for partners not wanting to browse through one of the many shops close by! “DeliVino on Tamborine” overlooks Doughty Park, and serves delicious food and coffees 7 days a week.

The VIC at Doughty Park – open 7 days a week!

“Doughty Park” offers limited children’s playground equipment and picnic facilities.  Due to the proximity of traffic, children need to be supervised at all times.  In 2012 a new modern public toilet block has been added to the list of facilities.

Doughty Park is also home to the accredited Tamborine Mountain Visitor Information Centre which offers a one stop shop for local travel information such as maps, brochures and information on other things to do and to see on Tamborine Mountain.

The entrance sign to “Lions Park”

Offering all necessary picnic facilities, the “Lions Park” has plenty of room for the kids to roam around. Large trees provide shade on hot days and cooking can be done on a number of wood fired BBQ’s.

In early 2012, the Tamborine Mountain “Lions Club” installed two large picnic shelters, providing protection from the elements.

Lions Park NEW Picnic Shelters

These feature large picnic benches and tables and a solidly built roof structure on a concrete floor.  This addition makes “Lions Park” an even more popular picnic area.  It is easily accessible, but still a little away from the “beaten track”.  The new picnic shelters are located close to “Curtis Road”, with plenty of close by parking.

Plenty of room for the kids to roam around!

Hand made Craft Fair

“Craft Extravaganza” is an amazing Craft Fair featuring handmade crafts of exceptional quality made by 50 local and South east Queensland craft persons with a huge variety of work on display and all available for purchase at reasonable prices. The Fair has a reputation of showcasing some of the best handmade craft in the area. The next Fair will be held for “Mother’s Day” from the 8th to the 10th of May 2015.

Handmade Local Craft

“Craft Extravaganza” is an amazing Craft Fair featuring handmade crafts of exceptional quality made by 50 local and South East Queensland craft persons with a huge variety of work on display and all available for purchase at reasonable prices.  The Fair has been running twice a year for 12 years and has a reputation of showcasing some of the best handmade craft in the area.

“Craft Extravaganza” was established in 2003 when we held the first event in our own home on Tamborine Mountain before moving to the Pavilion in the Show Grounds and then the Vonda Youngman Community Centre.
Although small we were delighted with the success and knew that if we had a bigger venue and could attract more visitors it would become very successful.

An amazing range of handmade items!

From attending many craft shows as an exhibitor over many years we found that most were poorly organized and poorly attended so we decided to organize our own show.

Our aim from the beginning was to create a first class event featuring quality and reasonably priced handmade craft ensuring that the exhibitors received excellent exposure to their hand made work and make a reasonable return for their efforts but at the same time raise funds for local worthy causes.

On learning that the Rural Fire Brigade received very little financial support from government and was run by volunteers who risked their lives in protecting our community we decided to support them.

So from a position 12 years ago where they had to beg and scrounge for donations simply to pay their fuel costs they  have been able to replace aging fire appliances, provide protection for staff in fire appliances with fire curtains and sprinkler systems, state of art communications and training equipment.  With the help of the Craft Extravaganza and other individuals and organizations they can concentrate on their work as fire fighters and not
