23.01.2022 Start your adventure a couple of days early and check out all that Bundaberg has to offer. We're incredibly grateful to have Bundaberg Regional Council on board as one of our sponsors for the Variety Bash Adventure and can't wait to experience all that the region has to offer. Spend a couple of days exploring attractions and supporting local organisations like the Bundaberg Rum Distillery and Mon Repos Turtle Centre. Then enjoy a unique start to your day before heading to rego and scrutineering. Experience a special breakfast at the zoo on Sunday 8 November with locally sourced breaky treats and a tour of the zoo before it opens to the public. Check out all the details at https://www.whatsonbundaberg.com.au//2020-bundaberg-zoo-br.

22.01.2022 Meet another one of our Silver High Flyers, the crew from MIE Bundy: Aaron, Jason, Beau and Kris. This year was their first time hitting the road with us, and they did an incredible job raising over $15,600 to give Aussie kids a fair go. Not only did the team dedicate their time to smashing their fundraising, but they also put a lot of preparation into their car to ensure they had the perfect set up and it's safe to say they definitely nailed it. They'd pull up on the side of... the road, pop open the truck, pull out their bar stools and kick back watching the cars go by! Plus, Kris even had a bit of a lucky streak on the event! He managed to win his money back on Vic's horse racing in Roma with even odds and also won the raffle of the day in Nindigully. Well done Aaron, Jason, Beau and Kris and a massive thank you for helping to change the lives of Aussie kids in need. We can't wait to see you again next year!

18.01.2022 Night 1 - Miles: Old-Time Pioneers It’s only fitting in a town of such rich history that we throwback to the days of old-time pioneers.

15.01.2022 Meet Silver High Flyers David and Noela from Car 555 who raised an amazing $21,531.05 to help give Aussie kids a fair go! The husband and wife team own a business, All About Bakery Equipment, importing bakery equipment from all over the world and setting up bakeries throughout Australia & the Pacific Rim. They are also avid 4WDers who enjoy escaping into the Australian countryside for a break from the day-to-day work life. "Being able to do an activity we enjoy doing whilst b...eing able to raise money for sick & disadvantaged children is just a no-brainer for us," said David. We were so excited to welcome David and Noela to the Variety family for their first-ever event with us and can't wait to see them again next year! They had such a blast getting to know you and all their fellow Bash Adventurers that they hope to find their own Bash car to come along in next year! Well done and a huge thanks to David and Noela. Your wonderful fundraising efforts will continue to make an incredible difference and help to unleash the full potential of kids in need.
