Join Australia's Most Iconic Charity Motoring Event
The Variety Bash is Australia's longest-running and most iconic charity motoring event, offering a unique blend of adventure and philanthropy. Participants in this event traverse remote and regional areas, raising essential funds to support children who are sick, disadvantaged, or living with disability.
Each year, the Variety Bash features a colourful convoy of creatively themed cars and a route that takes participants through some of Australia's most stunning and remote landscapes, covering diverse terrains from outback tracks to coastal roads.
The true highlight for many participants is the opportunity to witness firsthand the impact of their fundraising. As we travel, we visit local communities and schools, delivering Variety Grants that provide life-changing equipment and programs to children in need.
