Aussie World, Amusement park in Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia
Aussie World is an amusement park on the Sunshine Coast with rides and attractions spread across a large area. The property includes roller coasters, water rides, family games, food outlets, and open spaces where visitors can rest and eat.
The park opened in 1989 and has grown into a well-established destination on the Sunshine Coast. Over the years it earned recognition from local authorities for its role in the region's tourism industry.
The park's name and rides draw on Australian references: the Redback is named after the spider, Leak'n Logs and Platypus Ponds Mini Golf refer to native animals, and the former Ettamogah Pub, a cartoon-inspired outback pub, stood on the site until it was converted into The Pub at Aussie World in 2017, with work finished in 2018.
The park is open throughout the year with food and drinks available on-site and accessible to visitors of different abilities. Plan for crowds during peak times and wear comfortable shoes to explore the grounds.
The 2007 entrance upgrade added two 15.5-metre brightly coloured barber poles and a twin-peaked blue and yellow shade over the gate. The park's 1927 carousel is a restored original, and the Space Shaker swinging ship was moved here from Tops at the Myer Centre in Brisbane.
