2011 could be the year you experience the joy of empowering Queensland children with the ability to live, laugh and learn while enjoying one of Queensland's most enjoyable fundraising events - the infamous XXXX Gold Variety Bash.

This expedition will begin in Hervey Bay on August 20 with a convoy of Bash and official vehicles ready to commence its trek through the bush as Bashers raise funds for Queensland children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.

On last year's Bash, over 400 Bash participants in 156 vehicles raised a staggering net profit of $1.2 million for Queensland children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.
