Driving through outback Queensland to help disadvantaged Aussie kids.
Mackay’s Greg and Sandi Power have been outfitted with 100 Where’s Wally red and white beanies made by members of the Sarina Fibre Arts Group, which they will distribute to children during the Variety Bash road trip from August 28 to September 7.
They will change personas to driver Wally and co-driver Wanda for the trip from Winton to Yeppoon, which takes in the iconic Birdsville Races.
Greg’s already done eight Bashes, and this will be Sandi’s fifth.
“It’s great fun, absolutely,” Greg said. “We always have a ball.
“We’ll make sure we get to the small schools along the way, I’m sure Where’s Wally beanies will be a big hit with the kids.”
The Bash each year raises more than $1 million for disadvantaged children.
The Fibre Arts group crafters volunteered to knit the Where’s Wally beanies after they heard of Greg and Sandi’s fundraising efforts.
