Join Australia’s first and most iconic charity motoring event.

What began as a simple outback adventure between mates has become one of Australia’s most iconic charity motoring events.

Each year, the Variety Bash features a colourful convoy of creatively themed cars and a route that takes entrants 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 first-hand the impact of their fundraising. As we travel, we visit local communities and schools, delivering Variety Grants that change the lives of children in need.
