Variety Star Shape

25 adventure motorcyclists are taking a six-day fundraising journey through some of NSW’s most spectacular landscapes hoping to raise $150,000 for Variety – the Children’s Charity NSW/ACT.

The seventh annual Variety Adventure Ride will see participants travel from the Southern Highlands through the Great Dividing Range and along the stunning Sapphire Coast from 13 – 18 September.

Variety NSW/ACT CEO Tony Warner said the event is more than just a great adventure, with every kilometre ridden helping to raise vital funds for children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage, or living with a disability.

“This event brings together a passionate community of riders who share a love of exploration, camaraderie and giving back,” said Mr Warner.

“Participants will experience a carefully curated mix of mountain passes, forest backroads, coastal hinterland and rugged dirt tracks, all while making a genuine difference in the lives of children and families who are doing it tough.”

The 2026 route will depart Berrima Public School on Sunday 13 September before travelling through Goulburn, Narooma, Merimbula and Batemans Bay.

Two grants of $5000 each will be delivered to Berrima and Candelo Public Schools along the route as part of Variety’s ongoing support for remote and regional schools.

The event is fully supported with experienced ride leaders, mechanical, baggage and medical assistance, and expert event coordination.

Funds raised directly support Variety’s vital, year-round work empowering children to live life without limits through grants, programs, scholarships and inclusive experiences.

The Variety Adventure Ride is sponsored by Pickles whose commitment has helped power the event since its inception in 2020.
