The Bash leaves Daly Waters in theNT on August 7 and ends atLongreach in Queensland on August14.

The Variety NT Bash is not a rallyor race.

The Bash is the holiday after a yearof fundraising.

But heres the catch you pay foryour holiday.

The Bash is not a free ride.

Fun aside, the Bash is all about thekids.

And its about putting the fun intofundraising.

The Bashers from the 2010 event ra-ised more than $340,000 for Territorykids which helped with:
