Joylands Amusements

Joylands is a family operated business which has been operating for the past 45 years as a full-service carnival company. It was founded in 1958 by George Melonas and is still operating by George and his family to this day.

In 1958 we were operating as Joylands with only a few amusement devices such as the Merry Go Round, Ferris Wheel and Jumping Castle.

In 1989 George and family purchased Better Amusement Hire and has since built up the company to now cater for a diverse range of events including shows, festivals, fetes, corporate events and Christmas parties.

Based and operated in Sydney we pride ourselves on our professionalism and dedication to each and every function, be it large or small.

We have one of the largest selections of mobile amusement devices in Australia. The company’s growth has not been sudden; it has been accomplished by steady solid planned expansion in a series of easy steps. With this measured growth the company management and staff have been able to easily progress in their training from simple kiddies rides to some of the most sophisticated amusement devices available today. Joylands prides itself on providing high quality family entertainment.

Joylands is affiliated with the Showmen’s Guild of Australasia, and is a foundation member of both Australian Amusement Leisure and Recreation Association Inc. (AALARA) and Australian Amusement Association (AAA).
