Long Road is where Tamborine Mountain does its shopping, browsing and second coffee. More than 70 independent shops line the street, from galleries and antiques to fudge and gelato.
Art galleries, antiques and bric-a-brac, jewellery and opals, clothing boutiques and souvenir shops share the strip. It's a footpath precinct, not a bushwalk, so wander at whatever speed suits.
Coffee stops are easy to find, and fudge and gelato shops are part of the scenery. Tamborine Mountain Distillery is nearby on MacDonnell Road if you'd like something stronger.
Curtis Falls is close by, linked to the Eagle Heights area by an access track off Eagle Heights Road. It's a simple way to balance an hour of shopping with some rainforest.
Each shop sets its own hours. If there's one store you really want, check ahead before you go.
