Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Rockhampton Regional Council and Rockynats we have an extremely limited number of banners we’re auctioning online with all funds going directly to the Purple Rose Ride which is supporting local Rockhampton organisations supporting survivors of domestic and family violence so please dig deep!

HERE’s THE RULES
- This is a SILENT AUCTION
- Highest bidders at the close get the goods.
- You are bidding on 1 pack of 2 banners Banners are sold in packs of 2 only- there is one small and one large banner per pack. (See attached photos)
- Banners can be collected in Rockhampton or shipped anywhere in Australia at the winner’s expense. (Most likely by Australia Post)

- Bidding will open at 5pm AEST Sunday 24 May 2026
- Bidding will close at: 8pm AEST Sunday 14 June 2026
- Payment is due within seven (7) days of the auction close and must be received to activate delivery.

HOW TO BID
- Auction Bids MUST only be made be via direct FB message to this PurpleRoseRide fb page (this will give us clear time stamp of bids).
- Bids MUST contain:
Bidder’s FULL NAME

Bid amount in Australian Dollars

- If your bid is missing information, it won’t be considered valid until clarified and if the auction closes, you miss out.

The first pack that we auctioned in-person on the day of the Purple Rose Ride, sold for $650, so that should give you an idea of how highly prized they are.

Thank you again for showing your support and sending a clear message that domestic and family violence must be stopped.

Good luck!
