2026 Route
Pack your costumes, load up the car, and get ready – the 2026 Variety Brats Bash is officially on!
From 6–14 April, we’re setting off on an unforgettable family road trip, starting in Daylesford and winding our way through Halls Gap, Beachport and the wild beauty of Kangaroo Island – all before crossing the finish line in Tailem Bend.
This is your chance to hit the road with your Brats for a week of laughs, adventure, and life-changing impact. Let’s smash last year’s fundraising record and help even more kids who are living with disability, illness or experiencing disadvantage.
Expect wild themes, awesome memories, and friendships that’ll last long after the dust settles. We can’t wait to see you out there!
