2025 Route map
2026 Route to Kangaroo Island Coming Soon!
In 2025, the Variety Brats Bash hit the red dirt winding through remote South Australia and the Northern Territory for an outback adventure to remember. From dusty tracks to desert towns, it was classic Aussie country at its best.
Along the way, the Brats crew brought big smiles and even bigger energy to local communities - proving once again that this event is all about kids supporting kids.
We smashed fundraising goals, made a real impact, and had an absolute blast doing it.
Stay tuned - the 2026 Brats Bash is shaping up to be even bigger!
