Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride 2023
2023-05-21 | Tamborine Mountain, Tamborine Mountain, Tamborine Mountain, Qld, 4272, Australia
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride unites classic and vintage style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health. The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia in 2012 by Mark Hawwa. After inspiration from a photograph featuring classic suits and vintage motorcycles, Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of motorcyclists and connect the global motorcycling community and to raise funds for a cause important to every rider.
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is focused on bringing people together, encouraging folks to connect with their fellow gentlefolk and ride together. Community and social connections are vital for mental health, so this year will look to bring its global community together in over 700 cities and 100 countries in celebration of style, motorcycles, and men’s health. The 2023 Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride on Sunday, 21 May is coming to Tamborine Mountain. Up to fifty riders, all dressed dapper on classic motorcycles, will be riding on the mountain.
Registrations to take part in the ride are now open on the DGR website. http://www.gentlemansride.com/

Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens Celebrates 40 Years
2023-05-28 | Tamborine Mountain Regional Botanic Gardens, 25 Forsythia Drive, Tamborine Mountain, Qld, 4272
Botanic Gardens Celebrates 40 Years With Giant Plant Sale And Special Events – Sunday, 28 May
Tamborine Mountain Regional Botanic Gardens is celebrating 40 years of history with a special event on Sunday, 28 May!
The main activity is a fantastic plant sale prepared by the Gardens’ legendary Potty Potters. Head Potter Bobby White says the team has assembled a wide variety including beautiful begonias, a great collection of succulents that are certain to please avid gardeners and a special selection of orchids already mounted on logs.
Events in the gardens will include fun for children in Sooty Owl’s Creekside Trail, musical entertainment including the magnificent Bella A’capella choir who will sing for about an hour from 10am as well as some of the Mountain’s best jazz musicians and, of course, a succulent sausage sizzle.
Events will range across the Gardens with the Plant Sale at the newly paved service area at the southern end of the Gardens. Simply follow the signs across the stone bridge from the car park and along the main road. Cash and card services are available.
A highlight of the day will be the special art raffle of a beautiful still life painting by Barbara Briers and donated by her widower Alfred Briers specifically to help raise funds for the volunteers’ ongoing work. Tickets for the raffle are $2 on sale at the Potters pavilion in the service area every Wednesday and Thursday morning during May and on Sunday 28 May before the raffle draw at 2pm.
Everyone is welcome to celebrate with the Gardens volunteers. Bring a picnic, enjoy the wonderful environment and be involved in the activities.

Botanic Gardens Art Raffle Offers Superb Still Life Oil Painting
2023-05-28 | Tamborine Mountain Regional Botanic Gardens, 25 Forsythia Drive, Tamborine Mountain, Qld, 4272
The team at Tamborine Mountain Regional Botanic Gardens is proud to announce a superb art raffle
as part of the major celebration for the Gardens’ 40th Anniversary Celebrations on Sunday, 28 May 2023.
Tickets are $2 each or three for $5 and will be available at the Gardens’ propagation pavilion
on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, from about 8.30am to 11.30am until May 25. Cash or card payments are available.
The painting will be on display during these times.
The winning ticket will be drawn during celebrations in the Gardens at 2pm on Sunday, May 28.
The celebrations throughout the Gardens will also include a major plant sale, music, activities for children, and a sausage sizzle.
The art raffle is a magnificent still life of flowers painted by artist Barbara Briers.
While Barbara did not live on the Mountain, she loved our Botanic Gardens and drew great inspiration from them.
Sadly, Barbara died a year ago. Her husband, Alfred Briers, has generously offered the work to the Gardens team to raise funds for our ongoing development.
The painting is oil on board, approximately 450mm by 600mm, and elegantly framed.
To purchase tickets and to support the work of the Gardens volunteers, simply follow the “Plant Sale” signs
along the main road through the Gardens to the propagation pavilion in our newly surfaced service area at the southern end of the Gardens.

Author’s Journey Of Discovery Sheds New Light On Queensland’s History
Author Karen Rosser, a fourth-generation member of one of Tamborine Mountain’s pioneering families, has brought history to life through the story of The Mountain – known by its traditional custodians the Wangerriburra as Wangalpong – from its violent birth from the Tweed Volcano millions of years ago to the birth of Queensland in 1859.
The book, in which The Mountain is personified as a central character that loomed large in the lives of the Wangerriburra people, will be launched by Under the Greenwood Tree bookshop on Sunday 4 June at the Zamia Theatre, Tamborine Mountain.
There, Karen will share the story of her research that sheds new light on Queensland’s early history and some of its key figures, including explorer and Commandant, Captain Patrick Logan.
The book launch, including the author’s talk and light refreshments, will be held at the Zamia Theatre, Main Street, Tamborine Mountain, on Sunday 4 June at 2.30pm.
For further information, or to arrange an interview with the author, phone Under the Greenwood Tree on 0424 586 000 or Karen Rosser 0419 792 682.
About the Author Karen Rosser
Karen Rosser is a fourth-generation Tamborine Mountain local who grew up on a dairy farm on the South End. Her grandfather, Stan Rosser, was just five years old when his family came to The Mountain in 1896, and her father Allan Rosser, aged 97, still lives there today. An avid historian and bush lover who has travelled extensively, Karen is a retired science and maths teacher who now lives in North Queensland with her husband Darby Monro.

Botanic Gardens' Massive Plant Sale
2023-09-29 08:00 - 2023-09-30 12:00 | Tamborine Mountain Regional Botanic Gardens, 25 Forsythia Drive, Tamborine Mountain, Qld, 4272
Botanic Gardens Prepares Massive Plant Sale To Celebrate Springtime
The team at Tamborine Mountain Regional Botanic Gardens is preparing a massive two-day plant sale during the last weekend in September to celebrate the arrival of Springtime.
The plant sale will be open from 8am to noon on Friday, September 29 and Saturday, September 30 at the Bobby White propagation pavilion at the southern end of the Gardens with prices ranging from $5.
Bobby White, leader of the Botanic Gardens’ legendary propagation team, said they have been working hard over the past months to prepare a large variety for visitors to select.
“We are excited to again offer a number of the spectacular bat plants,” she said. “They are native to southern Asia and certain to sell quickly so buyers need to arrive early!
“Day lilies are looking really good right now. We also have a range of irises and colourful coleus as well as a great variety of succulents.
“Another special offering is orlaya that we have grown from seed. This shrub has finely-divided leaves, and umbels of lacy pink or white flowers. It is similar to the well-known Queen Anne’s Lace which grows wild and spectacularly through hedgerows in England.
“We do ask that our visitors bring their own bags or boxes to take their purchases to the car park as we simply do not have enough supply.”
Vehicles will be available to help plant enthusiasts to take their prize purchases to their cars and the team can accept cash or card for payment.
A succulent sausage sizzle will be held close to the plant pavilion on both days.
Children are also catered for on Saturday, September 30, with special activities through Sooty Owl’s Creekside Trail.
All proceeds from the sale go to the ongoing maintenance of the Botanic Gardens.
