Participants in a ‘kids helping kids’ version of the Variety Bash charity has been making its way through the Wimmera-Mallee to raise money for families and children.
The Variety Brats Bash, featuring 18 colourful teams and officials, left Melbourne last week for a seven-day Magical Mystery Tour, stopping at places as such as J Ward Museum in Ararat, Lake Fyans Caravan Park near Stawell and Warrackanbeal’s Lions Club Flora and Fauna Park.
The bash, also designed to provide participating families with travelling experiences, finished in Bendigo this week after covering 1500 kilometres by going ‘the long way ’round’.
The journey, apart from raising money, involved various activities.
