The most novel and colourful event on the calendar for the past 26 years, the NSW Variety Bash is set to make its departure from Sydney again on August 6th, 2011.

Given that since its inception in 1985, it has been tradition for the Bash to start and finish at a destination starting with the letter B, this year the Variety Bash will leave from Totally Home Bella Vista in Baulkham Hills at 8:30am on Saturday August 6th and finish at Buccaneer Rock (Broome, WA) on August 17th, travelling 5,423 kilometres and detouring through some of NSW most remote regions including Inverell, even crossing the border into Longreach and Mt Isa and travelling through the Northern Territory before completing the 11 day journey to the most westerly point of Australia. Since the first Bash the event has raised in excess of $109 million for kids in need.
