Australia's newest theme park Gumbuya World is now open

Australia's newest theme park is now open, but it isn't in Queensland as you might expect, Gumbuya World is located right here in Victoria, in Tynong 75kms from Melbourne (50km from Melbourne South East).

While we've yet to experience Gumbuya World for ourselves we are excited to see what's on offer.
