2013 VARIETY 4WD TREK
MELBOURNE TO CANBERRA VIA THE BLUE MOUNTAINS
THE TREK - THE EXPERIENCE
APRIL 26 - MAY 4
Now is its 17th year - 2013 will see the Variety 4WD Trek return to the Blue Mountains. The Trek was first started as an alternative to the infamous Variety Bash, specifically for people with 4WD’s, the desire to have fun and see some of the most picturesque areas of Australia.
If you have always wanted to go off road then now is your chance! To not only travel to some fantastic places but also to help Variety empower children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs to live, laugh and learn.
The 4WD Trek has a dedicated team to ensure all of our entrants have a safe and happy journey. Our 4WD Committee meets monthly to plan every detail of the event, from road surveys, accommodation, catering, adventures and fun stops along the way.
The 4WD Trek is for everyone from couples of all ages to mates with their mates.
