What's it all about?

Variety Rally Around Victoria is a fully hosted, three-day road trip designed for those who appreciate life’s finer journeys - regional discovery, good food, meaningful connection, and giving back.

This is your invitation to escape the city and explore Victoria’s most scenic pockets in style. Think rolling vineyards, historic gold rush towns, boutique stays and long-table lunches featuring the best in local produce and wine. Along the way, you’ll share the road with a warm and welcoming community, coming together each day for memorable experiences and heartfelt moments.

It’s more than a road trip - it’s a curated regional getaway with a big heart, where every kilometre supports kids living with disability, disadvantage or illness.

Bring your daily drive, classic cruiser, 4WD or Variety Bash car - the choice is yours. All you need is a sense of adventure and passion to do good!

Why Join?

Have you ever wanted to join a Variety motoring event but haven’t taken the leap? Rally Around Victoria is the event for you! 

You don’t need a Bash car, and there’s no need to prepare for rough tracks or remote conditions - this is an accessible and enjoyable experience for everyday drivers. The route is sealed and scenic, and the event is designed to slot easily into a long weekend. With a capped number of 60 cars, it’s also a friendly, close-knit group where you’ll quickly feel part of the community.

How You Make a Difference

Your fundraising efforts have a direct impact on Victorian children living with disabilities, illnesses, or experiencing disadvantage. Your contributions provide life-changing equipment and programs that make a world of difference.

As you rally through Victoria, you will experience heartwarming grant presentations that bring smiles to children's faces.

Each year Variety - the Children's Charity extends support to numerous families and organisations. Through grants, we provide essential equipment like wheelchairs and all-abilities playgrounds, addressing practical needs of kids, schools, and organisations in need. Our programs empower and educate children who are often overlooked, while scholarships encourage the talents of those living with disadvantage or disability. Lastly, we organise joyous kids events that illuminate the lives of children in need and their families.

Entry Costs & Fundraising

With car prep and fundraising, other Variety motoring events can be a big undertaking - not so with Rally Around Victoria! With the option to bring your prestige car, classic car or daily drive (no modifications required) as well as a lower entry cost and fundraising goal, the Rally is for everyone!

• Entry fee is $345 per car.
• A provisions levy which includes meals, car decals and a merchandise pack with all the essentials is only $580 per person.
• Minimum fundraising goal is $2,000 per car.

Entrants are responsible for booking their own accommodation for each night, based on budget and preference. An accommodation guide will be provided to each entrant which details the closest accommodation to each dinner venue. Options such as Airbnb and other local accommodation will also be available - we recommend getting in early!
