History
Originally a pheasant farm, the facility was converted into a wildlife park in 1978 by the late[1] Ron Rado.[2][3]
In October 2011, vandals attached a powerful explosive charge to the large pheasant statue at the entrance to the park and blew out its rear end. That followed earlier vandalism, including the theft of mini cars and motor karts.[4][5][6]
In September 2016, Gumbuya Park was sold for $4.65 million[7] to a group of investors which included Gerry Ryan and Carsales founder Wal Pisciotta, Adam Campbell, Brett Murray, and Ray Weinzierl to buy the park and upgrade it into a more ambitious Theme Park.[3][8][9]
