Gallery Walk
Long Road, Tamborine Mountain, Queensland, 4272
The beating heart of Scenic Rim town Tamborine Mountain, Gallery Walk boasts more than 60 arts and crafts shops, galleries, boutiques, and candy stores. Highlights include the Tamborine Mountain Distillery, the airy Gallery Café, and eco-friendly and alternative stores.
The basics
Travelers tend to visit the Tamborine Mountain area from Brisbane; day trips and hop-on hop-off services usually stop at Gallery Walk. The Tamborine Mountain Distillery at the top of the walk offers around 90 different spirits and liqueurs—it's a popular place to start exploring, particularly for travelers on Scenic Rim wine tours. Retail therapy options span the gamut from crystals to organic teas, while food covers everything from artisan cheese to burgers.
Things to know before you go
Gallery Walk is ideal for food lovers, drinks enthusiasts, shoppers, and people watchers.
Allow 30 minutes to half a day to explore Gallery Walk, depending on your interest in shopping.
Uneven footpaths and a lack of pedestrian crossings make Gallery Walk a surprisingly challenging destination for travelers who rely on wheelchairs.
How to get there
Tamborine Mountain nestles in the rain forest about a 50-mile (80-kilometer) drive south of central Brisbane; Gallery Walk is a stretch of the town’s main drag, Long Road. The limited public transit is not traveler-friendly, so most visitors self-drive, join a tour, or book shuttles from Helensvale station or Brisbane.
When to get there
Most shops on Gallery Walk are open from mid-morning until mid-afternoon, although some close for 1–2 days during the week. For maximum shopping and people-watching potential—along with the biggest crowds—visit over the weekend.
What to eat and drink in Tamborine Mountain
The mountain climate makes the Tamborine Mountain area ideal for growing everything from coffee to grapes. Head to the Tamborine Mountain Coffee Plantation to trace the journey from bush to bean or sample local wine and cheese at Witches’ Falls Winery. On Gallery Walk, besides the Tamborine Mountain Distillery, discover craft beer at Fortitude Brewing, savor famous fudge at Granny Macs Fudge Store, and shop local honey at Funny Honey.
