BulldustNBack
BulldustNBack is organised by the Rotary Club of Mill Point. The four-day motoring adventure was set up in honour of Jon Lawrance – long-time Rotarian and respected businessman – who passed away from cancer in 2018. Jon was an advocate of charities focusing on kids cancer and youth mental health.
The trial takes drivers in ‘wacky and wonderful old cars’ through WA’s outback: Exploring the outback in crazy old vehicles, participants compete in games, enjoy sundowners, nature tours, parties, attractions and much, much, more! Teams of volunteers work tirelessly to plan four days jam-packed with fun – there is never a dull moment during the BulldustNBack!
Most importantly, BulldustNBack is a FUNdraiser, and proceeds go directly to local charities supporting young West Australians. The 2021 BNB raised more than $90,000 for good causes and over $50,000 went to the local communities that were visited en route.
Since its inception in 2019, BulldustNBack has raised upwards of $160,000 – critical funds for children’s cancer and mental health charities. The 2022 BNB will be held from October 13-16.
