Leisure and Recreation Bush walking and bird watching are probably our most popular leisure activities with gardening not far behind. However there are numerous sporting and recreational groups on the Mountain. We also have an excellent modern Council library for readers and researchers at North Tamborine. The younger and more active are catered for with football, cricket and soccer clubs as well as a swimming club. Tennis and lawn bowls attract a wide range of age groups also.
