You may like the antics that go with a fun car rally and love dressing up and being really loud and colourful – all in the name of having FUN – while raising funds and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) of course!

The destination leg of the rally is Batemans Bay, which coincides with the launch of the CF Red Rose House. Come and enjoy the spectacle of some of the most outlandish vehicles (& drivers) ever to be seen in Batemans Bay!
