This year's Variety SA Motoring Bash hit the road from Adelaide Sailing Club on Saturday, heading off on an epic journey through Coober Pedy, Tanunda and regional towns across South Australia. And if that wasn't enough excitement, Variety WA Bash, 4WD & Cruise kicked off Day 2 of its Bash from Barratt Reserve too! We loved welcoming more than 1,600 Variety Bash entrants from across the country to West Beach Parks, the perfect home base for Friday night's national Bash party at AFL Max. With around 145 themed vehicles between the two events, the colourful convoy is more than just a fun road trip, it's a mission to support local communities and kids in need, and we're proud to be part of it. From the Dukes of Hazzard to Fireman Sam, Finding Nemo and Monkey Business, the team names are as creative as they are heartwarming. If you're in a position to donate, you can do so here: https://www.savarietybash.com.au -- or simply follow along on their socials. It's all for a great cause!
