Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) will participate in the 40th annual Variety Bash B to B, which raises money for the children’s charity.

The Bash B to B tours 13 outback towns in New South Wales and Queensland, including Bourke, Charleville, Windorah, Birdsville, Mount Isa and Burketown

TMHA’s team will drive two 1976 Toyota Crown Super Salon Sedans, dubbed the Toyota Forklifts Legends cars, which feature forklifts, Australian animals and landmarks.

The TMHA cars are designed to be coloured in, with kids at each of the stops given permanent markers to colour in a section of the car.

“TMHA is proud to be again taking part in such an important fund-raising activity and to support a children’s charity as vital as the Variety Club,” says TMHA president and chief executive officer Steve Takacs.

“We are also looking forward to our staff being able to meet the public across our beautiful Australian landscape, and we look forward to engaging with kids and having them colour in a section of our Toyota Forklift Legends car as a memento of our participation in this worthy cause.”

Variety supports children from newborn to 18 who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with a disability.
