Variety SA Bash Car CDA

05/09/2026

So, what’s next? Well… We’re stocked to announce that..

Car CDA will do it again in 2027!! 🎉

We’ve just registered our old girl for 2027 SA Variety Bash - Outback Trails and River Tales! 🚙 💨

For now, we only know 2 things:
1) we’ll be starting in Lobethal on 7 Aug 2027 and somehow making our way to Mildura 7 days later!
2) our fundraising page is up and running 🙌🏻

Donate today and help us bring smiles to children and communities out there - we can’t do it without your support!

We’ve got a friend in you, don’t we? 🙂

In 2027 we’re hitting the dirt tracks as our colourful convoy travels through places you’ve never heard of, let alone been to, supporting local communities and kids in need along the way.

Perhaps you’ve been wondering what’s up with your favourite toy squad?

Apart from a serious case of Bash Withdrawal Syndrome (yep, it’s a real thing!) a few of us had a cough or sniffle to get over, but we’re mostly in a good shape now!

Over the weekend we even took our toy box on wheels to the spa for a proper mud scrub! She looks rejuvenated, don’t you think? 😉

Stay tuned as more updates will be coming soon!

It’s only been few days since we returned to our everyday life but the Bash Withdrawal Syndrome is already kicking in, so we are scrolling through the photos and reliving the adventure!

Picturesque town of Arno Bay was definitely one of the places that made this trip so special!

Look at all the legends who sacrificed their time to fundraise for children and communities in need! Bit by bit, we made it over $2,000,000 big! Way to go, SA Bashers of 2026 🥳

SA Variety Bash 2026 Car CDA crew:
- Colin B. (Stinky Pete/Sid)
- Sonia (Jessie/Mrs. Potato Head)
- Shauna (Alien/Mr. Potato Head)

signs-off for now - about time to see our loved ones, get dry, and catch up on some sleep!

With the intensity of events along the Bash it’s impossible to keep up with posting, hence watch this space as in the next couple of weeks we will share some more memories!

Torrential rains and flooded roads did not stop more than 70 cars from taking part in this year's Variety Bash, even if major route alterations were needed.

Look at that!! Good job, Bashers 2026!! 🤩

We’re so proud to announce that the 2026 SA Variety Bash has raised an incredible $2,055,000 (net)! 🎉🚗

These vital funds will help Variety SA continue supporting kids across South Australia who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disability.

A huge thank you to our amazing Bash entrants, Officials, MWs, SVs, VSA staff, volunteers, sponsors and donors – this result wouldn’t have been possible without you!

What a phenomenal way to wrap up this year’s Bash! ❤️
