Tamborine Mountain Road, Heritage road in Scenic Rim, Queensland, Australia.

Tamborine Mountain Road runs 24.1 kilometres through the Scenic Rim, from Tamborine railway station up to North Tamborine on the plateau, with part of the route designated State Route 95. Its upper southern section climbs to about 550 metres and was the hardest stretch, built 1922–1924 with dry stone retaining walls, some reputedly 15 feet high, and culverts for heavy rain.

Tamborine Mountain Road was built from 1922 to 1925 to connect the North Tamborine farming community with Tamborine railway station. It was gazetted on 16 December 1921 as one of Queensland's first seven Main Roads under the Main Roads Act 1920, and the Main Roads Board funded its construction. The upper section from Sandy Creek to North Tamborine, rising to 1,800 feet, was completed in 1924 at a cost of £32,158.

The upper section bears the name Geissmann Drive since 1982, honoring a family that shaped the local community by establishing their boarding house in 1898.

The road is quite steep and winding, so careful driving and reliable brakes are important. Wet conditions after rain can make it challenging, so it is best experienced during fair weather.

Original infrastructure from the 1920s remains visible along the entire route, including culverts, road cuttings, and rock embankments. These early engineering solutions show how builders adapted construction techniques to the challenging mountainous landscape.
