In 2025, Variety – the Children’s Charity marks 50 years of supporting children who are sick, disadvantaged or living with disability in Australia. As part of this milestone, Variety played host to the first National Variety Bash in a decade, bringing together every Bash route across Australia for one unforgettable event in South Australia.
The celebration united more than 1,500 entrants and 650 colourful Bash cars to Adelaide, with participants travelling thousands of kilometres from across the country to be part of this unique gathering.
Bash entrants from across Australia shared stories, reconnected and celebrated the strong sense of community that makes the Variety Bash so special. The energy in the room was a powerful reminder of the impact the event has in connecting people and the friendly camaraderie the Bash brings.
This event was proudly support by the South Australian Tourism Commission.
