Tamborine used to be spelled Tambourine. It was the administrative centre of the Shire of Tamborine (formerly the Shire of Tambourine). St Patrick's Catholic Church was established in the early 1870s on the south bank of the Albert River on Michael Yores' property “Spiddle” near a swamp. Originally there was a cemetery near the church but due to flooding, it was decided to relocate the Catholic cemetery to land donated by Thomas Plunkett on Plunkett Road. In the 1960s the church was moved to the site of the former Tamborine railway station, where it was renovated and then dedicated in June 1966 by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Brisbane Patrick Mary O'Donnell. As at 2020, a monthly vigil service is held at the church. Tambourine Provisional School was instigated by Michael Yore and Thomas Plunkett.
