Hear From Our Bashers

"All the people, all the cars.. It's such a great time and such a great thing to be a part of. All the fundraising and everything else for the kids is absoluetly heartwarming to see. You get to see some beautiful countryside you'd never get to see just driving on main roads."

Matt, Team Remote Country 4X4

Everyone on the Bash is coming up to say, "How are you? How are you going? How are you enjoying it?" It's such a close-knit family. Now that I'm a basher, I've done my first year, I can see why it’s so addictive. It’s brilliant.

Billy, Team Avengers

"We love giving back to the community and seeing the direct impact of our fundraising efforts. And there's nothing quite like driving through the Australian outback with good friends, old and new. Visiting these rural communities and witnessing the joy that our travelling circus brings is just amazing."

Christian, Team Star Wars
