Hey Red Rocket Fans 🚀
Just wanted to give a shute out to Gwandalan bowling club for there sponsorship for The Tassie Bash in October this year we appreciate it, this help kids in need, rural schools to purchase new technology for the kids and anything else they need.
We head to Tasmania on the 14th October for the bash which heads off on the 17th October from Prospect Vale and finishes at Sandy Bay on the 22nd October 2026.
We are super excited to be sharing this experience with Team Harry Potter, and also my sister Lizzie Boonstra and her partner Isaac Duggan who will be virgin bashers.

Hello Red Rocket 🚀 fans
We have some disappointing news about the upcoming May Bash, it has been postponed until May 2027, due to the current fuel situation.
Variety Motoring NSW & ACT have made this decision which we stand by,we need think about all the rural towns that are already under financial pressure.
Thankyou to all our sponsors that have already jumped on board to support Team Red Rocket for the May bash 2026.

A big shout out to Janet Kilazoglou for organising a great mini bash, along with Variety volunteers by her side and supporting bashers and newbies along the way.
We had a couple of newbies in The Red Rocket 🚀 from Tasmania, My sister Lizzie Boonstra and her partner Issac who drove The Red Rocket 🚀 with care and respect especially when she started to get super hot on the dirt roads, taking our time along the way she cooled down and she ran perfectly as normal.
We saw some beautiful landscapes through Singleton to Nundle, stopped and had lunch at Peel inn, we then headed to Gloucester for dinner at the Round about inn after a day in the dirt. Sunday we
Then headed to Aberdeen for lunch through lots of winding dirt roads where The Rocket got hot again, we figured we need to drive her fast to cool her down which Issac nailed it over hills.
It was a great weekend creating many memories and lots of laughs , Ross W Brown and I enjoyed guiding them how navi and the fun you can have being a basher and seeing the smiles and reactions we create as group coming into towns and spreading the Variety message.
We are all looking forward to the Tasmania Bash in October 2026.
