TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN DISTILLERY - MICHAEL WARD
TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN DISTILLERY – MICHAEL WARD from Jorg Fedler on Vimeo.
When Michael Ward sets himself a goal, he will reach it. His charisma, passion, determination and energy are like an electric spark, inspiring people around him. He goes about his goals like a mountaineer, set to climb Mount Everest.
In 1991 Michael wanted a distillery license and run a distillery. It took him 18 months of negotiation to convince the Government of his good character and professional ability. In 1993 his dream came true.
He now runs a successful distillery with his wife Alla. They produce 81 different kinds of snaps, brandies, whiskeys and liqueurs.
Michael’s favourite liqueur is the “Wild Forest Plum Liqueur” which is made from the famous Davidson Plum.
He and his wife Alla have won 320 international awards for their outstanding distillery skills.

Michael Ward from Tamborine Mountain Distillery promoting Tamborine Mountain Distillery, Queensland AND Australia (in his own, inimitable way) on Toronto (Canada) Breakfast Television.
Michael Ward at the Tamborine Mountain Distillery
Transition Vision volunteer reporter Colleen Jackson whilst on a visit to her homeland of Australia took a trip to Tamborine Mountain in Queensland. Its sub-tropical climate and fertile soil make it a popular destination for tourists and a great place to grow fruit. Tamborine Mountain Distillery was created by Michael Ward and his wife Alla as a way of using surplus fruit by turning it into schnapps. They have won more awards than any other distillery in Australia in this century. Michael is also famous following his appearance in the ITV production Poms in Paradise.

MT TAMBORINE, GOLD COAST
Some say this is the green behind the gold, which makes the Gold Coast so seductive, and it’s easy to see why Tamborine Mountain is in tune with tourists. Let’s start with the rainforest, in the third oldest National Park in the world, which celebrates the remnants of the former Mount Warning volcano. There are numerous walks and lookouts from which to enjoy Mother Nature at her most blindingly brilliant, including the mysteriously-named Witches Falls or charming Cedar Creek.
There’s 12 walking tracks in all and each one is no longer than around 3km, so if you like a stroll among the birds, bees, flowers and the trees, this is for you. For a change of pace, enjoy several wineries, a brewery and even a distillery up on the mountain, which is perfectly punctuated with award-winning restaurants, art galleries, sweeping coastal views and that delicious mix of old and new-world charm.
Indulge in home-grown produce such as avocados, kiwifruits and macadamia nuts as well as award-winning cheeses and fabulous fudge, or dine in some seriously swish restaurants. Select from cosy cottages, decadent dwellings and a hotel or two, including the iconic St Bernard’s Hotel, in which to stay the night.
Explore the area by yourself, or join a tour which takes in a number of attractions such as Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk and the Glow Worm Caves. Romantics rush to the mountains to get married here and it’s easy to see why. For this is Queensland’s own Emerald City. That’s right Dorothy, you are not in Kansas anymore. This is Oz.
