CULTURAL TRAILS OF THE SCENIC RIM

The Scenic Rim is home to some of Australia’s most stunning landscapes. In 2018, Studios and Events: Cultural Trails of the Scenic Rim celebrates 10 years of artists opening their doors to the community through the Open Studios program. Scenic Rim once again invites you to share in the rich artistic offerings of this region.

This year over 220 artists open their studio doors at 26 locations over 5 weekends in May and June. 2018 introduces our Scenic Rim On Location Arts Workshops over 26 & 27 May at 5 locations across the Scenic Rim – places are limited and bookings are essential.

OPEN STUDIOS of the Scenic Rim

2018 Studios Weekends:
5th & 6th May – Tamborine Mountain – 10am – 4pm each day

The Open Studios of the Scenic Rim weekends are held annually throughout May and in 2018 until the first weekend in June, allowing visitors to see artists at work in their studios. Studios are open from 10am to 4pm on the days indicated. Appointments can be made outside these times directly with the artist.

Most of the work on display in the studios is for sale, and the majority of artists are able to undertake commissions. Many are available for workshops and artists’ residencies.

Open Studios are situated across the Scenic Rim including Canungra, Beechmont, Boonah, Mt Alford, Harrisville, Tamborine Mountain and Beaudesert.

Tamborine Mountain is only 1 hour from Brisbane and 40 minutes to the Gold Coast. A plateau at 550 m, it is renowned for offering up four distinct seasons, so the landscape and the gardens will be different every time you visit. Best known for its beautiful rainforests and spectacular waterfalls, there are walks to suit most abilities.

Tamborine Mountain is home to acclaimed artists, musicians and performers and boasts a bohemian coffee culture. Award-winning wineries, galleries, vintage outlets and a diverse range of other activities ensure there are plenty of things to suit the interests of all visitors.

Free entry – 10am – 4pm each day

Who We Are

What is Experience Tamborine Mountain all about?

Experience Tamborine Mountain is an eclectic collection of like-minded businesses that share a passion for the cool, sub-tropical rainforest paradise that lies near Queensland’s capital, Brisbane and behind the Gold Coast.

Using our specialist local knowledge and connections, we’ve carefully curated a varied menu of activities and experiences that will appeal to visitors’ diversity, tastes and aspirations. And, because one size does not necessarily fit all, we recognise the importance of also crafting tailored experiences for special interest individuals or groups.

The best takeaway from travelling is the stories you’ll have and the abiding memories of simple pleasures, of unplanned serendipitous moments, encounters with locals, and even life-altering learning.  We believe in the importance of sharing the little things with our visitors as well as the big ticket moments and look forward to helping you discover them so you’ll have your own stories to tell.

Tamborine Mountain – what to do and where to stay?

Mountain destinations translate to achingly beautiful scenery and views, crisp, clean air, a plethora of local wildlife and pristine forest, and Tamborine Mountain is no exception. Against this glorious backdrop exists a diverse and colourful cottage industry with numerous local artists and craftspeople, a variety of natural and man-made attractions, award-winning wineries, a vibrant cafe and restaurant scene, soft adventure for the thrill-seekers, festivals, special events and country markets.

These are all supported by a host of accommodation options including generous country homes that suit extended family or corporate groups, warm and welcoming B & Bs and intimate couples’ cottages.

What can Experience Tamborine Mountain offer you?

To truly experience and participate in the essence of this special place can be intimate, personal, challenging, exhilarating and even life-affirming. We can show you the main spots to take the pretty pictures, but more importantly, we can help you explore our back streets where you will create a personal connection with our mountain that will continue to touch you long after you leave.

Sometimes the simplest moments during a trip away can provide the greatest memories and experiences – it could be the taste of a new dish, lovingly prepared by a passionate champion of  regional produce; an encounter with a knowledgeable, generous winemaker who loves to share a yarn ; laughing with family as you play a board game at a sprawling farmhouse dining table; the sound of birdsong as you light a fire before breakfast; or simply slowing down and being in the moment, exploring the beauty of an ancient rainforest.

Explore our Experience Packages

Get to know our mountain by connecting to our history, our culture and our people – authentic experiences, uncontrived, sometimes simple, sometimes adrenalin-inducing; something literally for everyone. We have created these experiences for you, so you can now go and live them.
