Dear Editor
It has been a while since we as a family had visited Mount Tamborine from the Gold Coast so you can imagine our dismay when just last week we arrived to find a plateau divorced from, what would appear, any form of order, control, regulation, direction, structure, care maintenance or pride!
What has happened? Is no one in charge anymore ie Council, any governing body, Chamber of Commerce, essential services etc.
No wonder there are so many properties for sale. Another sore point – signs everywhere.
Too many real estate signs, pointer signs, badly hand written signs of all descriptions, illegal signs, fallen signs, faded signs. Overall it must be a ‘sign of the times’!
Then one drives through Curtis Falls, which used to be a ‘Mecca’ for tourists. Now with those run down shops and obviously abandoned Pavilion Restaurant it looks like something from the third world.
Wake up Tamborine Mountain – no longer ‘The Green behind the Gold, more like ‘has been’!
This is one Gold Coast family that will not be back for a long time until order has been restored.
