History

Mount Tamborine Post Office had opened by March 1924 (a receiving office had been open from 1881, originally known as Tambourine Mountain), was renamed Mount Tamborine in 1926 and closed in 1977.

The name "Tamborine" is taken from the Yugambeh language for "wild lime", after the finger lime trees in the area. Tamborine was sometimes spelt as "tchambreem", "jambreen" and "goombireen".

All three suburbs now have the postcode 4272 and postal address of Tamborine Mountain. The postcode 4271 is reserved for the post office at Eagle Heights (which closed down permanently in 2024).
