With the situation surrounding COVID-19 posing serious ongoing health and travel risks, as well as current and forecast state border closures and social restrictions,

We have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 Variety Bash to Great Keppel Island.

Given the ongoing uncertainty, risks and forecasts, and despite our best efforts, we are also unable to plan a motoring event around Victoria in 2021.

Please note after three attempts to make the current route happen, the 2022 Variety Vic Bash will have a new destination. We will not be heading to Great Keppel Island in 2022.

Thank you

While we are devastated that we won't be on the road with you this year, we are so grateful to have so many of you as a part of our Variety family and are thankful for your kindness, dedication and perseverance.

Of course, there are a number of remarkable people and organisations who make the Variety Vic Bash happen, and we want to give an extra special thanks to you for pulling out all the stops and tirelessly supporting Variety and kids in need. Thank you Howard Barber, Gary Caddy, Rod Collins, Wayne Daisley, Geoff Handberg, Darren Hoggan, Jenny Kelly, Mick Kelly, Sam Martin, Rob McCorkell, Andrew Richards and the 45 volunteers and officials who make the Variety Vic Bash possible.

We also give our heartfelt thanks to our event sponsors WM Waste Management Services, ACE Radio, Seeley International, Isuzu Trucks, Budget Car and Truck Rental, Sheen Panel Service, Ambulance Victoria and Fire Rescue Victoria for your devotion and assistance in our most challenging period.

Stay safe.

ENQUIRE ABOUT 2022

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE ON THE VARIETY BASH?

Right before the 2019 Variety Vic Bash to Geraldton, we interviewed some of our famous Bash crews to share their favourite memories from the road

SEE WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY

It's all for a good cause

All kids deserve the same opportunities in life. No matter what life throws at them. Variety – the Children’s Charity helps children and their families with much-needed financial support for things like specialist equipment, therapy, and medical supplies, when they can’t afford it, and when government assistance isn’t available.
