Get the family together
Get your family and friends together to share quality time and experience some of the most unique and remote areas of Australia.
Like all Variety motoring events, all funds raised help children living with disability and illness or experiencing disadvantage through the provision of tangible equipment, programs, scholarships and events.
Fun, fun, fun!
Kids helping kids
The Variety Brats Bash is all about kids helping kids; along the way we stop to present grants so your kids can see the direct impact they are making to children in need. These moments make lifelong memories for all involved.
Family time
Planning your next family road trip? Why not make new friends for you and your kids along the way as you travel in convoy across some of Australia's most remote settings. Share quality time and bond with your kids on the road!
Adventure
Prepare your car and yourselves for outback tracks and good times! We stop at attractions, hold games and theme nights and even have our very own fun stops, unique to Variety Motoring Events - the fun doesn't stop on the Variety Brats Bash!

Drive to change the lives of kids like Laya-Grace
Layla-Grace is a courageous and spirited 6-year-old who loves the outdoors and visiting new places. Layla-Grace is living with Cerebral Palsy and her old stroller was falling short in meeting her postural and mobility needs, hindering her from fully experiencing the joy of school excursions and community outings.
Variety granted Layla-Grace a carefully selected wheelchair to provide Layla with the freedom and independence she deserves and needs to thrive.
Now Layla-Grace can confidently traverse longer distances, socially interact with her peers and greatly improve her ability to explore and learn new skills. This contribution will not only improve Layla-Grace’s physical well-being but also enhance her social interactions and overall quality of life.
