Assistant Minister for Tourism and Major Events, Katrina Hodgkinson announced the NSW Government’s support for Variety Australia’s flagship fundraiser, through Destination NSW, which will contribute to running the event and ensure teams spend a significant amount of time in rural and Regional NSW and Sydney.
“An estimated 2000 participants in 555 cars built before 1974 are expected to take part in the bash, which will stop off in towns and communities including Brewarrina, Broken Hill, Singleton, Armidale, Dubbo, Condobolin and Bourke, bringing significant national attention to these communities,” Ms Hodgkinson said.
“Then, on Sunday 17 August, all six teams converge on Sydney, where they will congregate in locations on Sydney’s North Shore before parading across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, accompanied by coaches carrying children who have benefited from Variety.”
Ms Hodgkinson said the National Variety Bash is an event with a wonderful legacy, estimated to have raised more than $200 million for children since 1985.
“This year’s event will also bring thousands of visitors to our State and help to showcase Regional NSW as a wonderful place to visit, from the rugged and remote far western regions to Sydney’s glorious Harbour, and the many country towns in between,” Ms Hodgkinson said.
“Teams from across Australia are sure to have a whole lot of fun in NSW in August, and we wish them all the best in their fundraising efforts for this great cause.”
