Goldrush was Australia’s tribute to the pioneer era. The themed area drew on the country’s gold-mining heritage, with stockmen, drovers and the legends of Ned Kelly and the Tasmanian Devil roaming the bush. Some of Wonderland’s most iconic rides called Goldrush home — including The Bush Beast, the country’s leading wooden roller coaster.
