Tamborine House for Sale


The only constant in life is change - and we are now moving on to our next adventure.
So it's back to Brisbane in order to be closer to work. I might even achieve the elusive and perhaps mythical 'work life balance' by reducing my commute to minutes rather than hours each day.
Our house is for sale - perhaps you know someone looking for a little piece of paradise on Tamborine Mountain? - our chosen agent's details will follow in the next few days.
