Queensland Variety Bash

Background information

Each year, Variety Queensland stages a cross country motoring event in which fundraisers from all over Queensland dress up in a wide array of themes and prepare 30 year old motor vehicles to travel in excess of 4000 kms, raising funds and presenting wheelchairs, walking frames, educational equipment and last year even a coaster bus to regional areas. The 2007 Variety Bash raised approximately $1.4 million and Variety Queensland approved appeals of $2.7 million.

The purpose of the event is to visit remote schools and provide the children within these areas with an exciting and memorable experience. Last year there were 106 bash vehicles ranging from fire trucks to Shrek mobiles, who delighted and fascinated the children.

Last year the team which raised $16,000 consisted of:

• Andrew Fielding, Partner of BDO Kendalls;
• Roger Postle, Director of BDO Kendalls;
• Glenn Lazarus, Rugby League legend, former Bronco and Captain of the Melbourne Storm;
• Peter Winterflood, State Manager of BankWest;
• Chris Martin, Director Grays Online;
• Bill Freemen, Auctioneer Grays Auctions.
