The Cobar Bowling & Golf Club carpark was filled with weird and whacky cars (and crazily costumed people) on Monday morning as the South Australia Variety Bash passed through town.
The 36th annual SA Variety Bash hit the road on Saturday from Renmark in SA and overnighted in Cobar on Sunday as part of their 3,000km journey to the Gold Coast.
The 232 entrants travelled in a convoy of 72, let us just say, ‘interesting’ vehicles!
The 2024 Variety SA Bash is raising funds to help support SA kids who are sick, disadvantaged or living with disability.
This year’s event aims to raise an incredible $1.5 million for children in need.
Variety SA CEO, Mark McGill said the Bash is their flagship fundraiser, that helps them meet the ever-expanding demand of grants for SA kids in need, their families, other children’s charities, schools, hospitals and community groups.
“The past year alone, Variety SA has positively impacted the lives of over 88,000 children in South Australia through 244 grants totalling $6.23 million,” Mark said.
Over the past 35 years, the Bash entrants have raised in excess of $51 million.
The SA Variety Bash is the third car rally to have passed through Cobar in the past week with the Drover’s Run Adventure Rally overnighting in town last week and the Rotary Club of Dubbo South’s Destination Outback rally also passing through on Friday.
