The convoy which is consisting of approximately 70 cars and decked out in themes such as Disney villains, the Batmobile, Sesame Street and Thomas the Tank Engine brought plenty of excitement with each crew also dressed up in colourful and fun costumes.

There is never a dull moment on the Variety Bash as the contingent were greeted for lunch at the Bundalong Tavern by Toy Story characters on horseback before travelling half an hour down the road to the iconic Tungamah Hotel and witnessed Batman in flight.
