VARIETY BASH VIC

ravellin’ in a fried-out Kombi, on a hippie trail head full T of zombie” – well… almost – we were in a Kombi, but our heads were filled with more red dust than zombie!

There were some strange ladies, but I think we made them nervous, and all manner of great people took us in and gave us breakfast.

I’m talking of course about the 2019 Variety Vic Bash, an amazing event defined by the slogan, “Ya Gotta Do It!”

Variety – the Children’s Charity – is a national and international organisation with individual state bodies that each run its own series of events raising money for kids who just need a little help in life. Their needs may be physical, intellectual, financial, or even dealing with geographical challenges that affect some kids – and Variety steps in to help.

This Bash attracted a massive 94 vehicles/teams with a combined fundraising total of over $1.82 million. In perspective, that sum could amount to 20 Variety Sunshine Coaches, 160 powered wheelchairs or even 30 sensory playrooms!

To enter the Victorian Bash, vehicles need to be at least 30 years
