And so yet again the Variety Club, has left for twelve days of fun and fund-raising on this years Victoria Bash.

I'd like to thank our crack team of officials, traveling mechanics, route scouts, medical support members, photographers and radio guys for all the work they put in over the bash supporting out teams and making everything possible. Without you guys we'd all be lost broken down in a ditch fifty million miles from civilization and for that we cyber-salute you!

So where are they going today? Well day 1 is Melbourne to Warragul which is 280kms. On the way they'll stop at some country town like Marrysville, a sad victim of the recent Victoria bushfires and Buxton, home of the Buxton Burger, which can be found at the Igloo Roadhouse in Buxton. There last stop will be Warragul for the day.
