Gumbuya Park, Amusement park in Tynong North, Victoria, Australia.

Gumbuya Park is an amusement park in Tynong North organized into four main sections: water slides, wildlife trails, adventure rides, and children's areas. The grounds feature a variety of attractions spread across different zones, each designed for different age groups and interests.

Gumbuya Park opened in 1978 on the site of a former pheasant farm, converted into a wildlife park by the late Ron Rado. In September 2016 a group of investors including Gerry Ryan, founder of Jayco, Carsales founder Wal Pisciotta, Adam Campbell, Brett Murray and Ray Weinzierl bought the park for $4.65 million to upgrade it into a more ambitious theme park.

The wildlife area holds 52 animal species in a bushland setting, among them koalas, dingoes, lizards, crocodiles and wallabies. A walkthrough aviary and wallaby trail, a Critter Cave with insects, lizards and baby crocodiles, and a petting zoo sit alongside the Koala and Dingo exhibit. The pheasant statue at the entrance recalls the site's origin as a pheasant farm.

Gumbuya World sits in Tynong North, near Pakenham, east of Melbourne. The Outback Explorers area holds the Berry Twirl, Outback Pirates ship, Desert Derby dodgem cars, Truck Convoy, Ray's Express train and Outback Pursuit, while the Wildlife Trail leads to the Koala and Dingo exhibit, walkthrough aviary, wallaby trail, Critter Cave and petting zoo. Ray's Express runs through the park, useful for covering ground between the ride zone and the 52-species wildlife area.

The large pheasant statue at the entrance recalls the site's origins as a pheasant farm. In October 2011, vandals attached a powerful explosive charge to it and blew out its rear end, after earlier thefts of mini cars and motor karts. The statue still marks the entrance.
