Dirt and Dust - Tristan and Gerard

This trip is pulled together by the Rotary Club of South Bunbury is not about creature comforts.

It’s a challenge, it’ll be dirty, dusty, maybe muddy but definitely tough.
The five days will see us driving thousands of kilometers through some of Australia's harshest terrain, sleeping on the side of the track, down by a tree or possibly in the rain. All in a car worth no more than $1,500.

Featuring a sunroof, leather interior, wheels, tyres and hopefully brakes too, our chariot, Eleanor is the pinnacle of German engineering excellence. With a mere 260,000 kms on the clock, she is in her prime and as such we have decided to compliment her majestic style and maintain a formal tweed dress attire for the entirety of the event keeping with her demographic.

We need your help to raise funds for the following charities. We are covering all costs of the event, including the car, so any donations will be greatly appreciated and will go directly to the charities below.

Car panels are now fully sponsored, thanks to our sponsors for their support!!

In order to provide tax deductible receipts. Donations are made to Mycause who will then transfer funds across to the following charities:

1) Australian Rotary Health. It is one of the largest independent funders of mental health research within Australia. (www.australianrotaryhealth.org.au/)
