Wobbies World, Family amusement park in Forest Hill, Victoria, Australia.
Wobbies World was a small amusement park in Forest Hill built around transportation-themed rides and exhibits for young children. The park included monorail helicopters, miniature trains, vintage trams, and a refurbished helicopter simulator that visitors could experience.
The park opened in 1970 and operated for about three decades as a children's attraction with gentle rides and educational exhibits. It closed in 1999, marking the end of a local chapter in family entertainment.
The park displayed four Melbourne W2 class trams and a Vickers Viscount aircraft that visitors could see up close. These vehicles connected people to Australia's transportation heritage in a hands-on way.
The site was accessible on foot and designed for families with young children to navigate easily. Individual rides and exhibits required separate payments beyond the general entry fee.
The park operated custom-built six-wheeled vehicles powered by lawn mower motors on designated tracks. Children experienced the thrill of controlled motorized driving in a safe, supervised setting.
