The Variety Brats Bash is under way again as costume clad families hit the roads of Yarra Glen on Saturday 6 April to travel all the way to Byron Bay over eight days to raise money for sick and disadvantaged kids.
The picturesque rolling hills of the Yarra Valley were chosen as the starting point of the 2,200 kilometre journey to Byron Bay, traveling through the heart of Victoria and New South Wales.
Based on the iconic Variety Bash, the Variety Brats Bash sees 20 colourfully themed teams and officials on a unique journey providing families an irreplaceable experience to spend eight days of quality time exploring some great places around the country.
Like all Variety events, the Brats Bash raises much needed funds for children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs in Victoria.
Each year, entrants of the Variety Brats Bash encourage the younger generations to experience the joy of giving.
The Brats travelled from Yarra Glen to Echuca to mark the first day of Variety Brats Bash.
The tour started from the Yarra Glen Chocolaterie, where participants had breakfast and made chocolate lollipops.
