TOY RUN FOR Fr BOB - PASS IT ON

Last updated October 22, 2014.


Australian TOY RUNs began in Perth, Newcastle and Melbourne in the 1970s. In 2014 there are more than 50 in cities and towns across OZ. If you want to make a positive statement about being Australian and being a rider, make the effort, grab an Aussie flag and fly it at a TOY RUN. Help us get the best things about Christmas in Australia and Australian motorcycling into the main stream media.

Melway map 2J J 8. Family & friends not riding can go directly to Father Bob's to watch the bikes arrive about noon. Albert Park has great eateries and Jock's ice creamery is a must for kids. The beach is at the end of the road too. Spend your money locally and keep local businesses happy. I'm having a late lunch at the Beach Hotel on the corner of Victoria Avenue and Beaconsfield Parade.

GIFTS. New toys & clothes do a lot of good. Second hand books and hard toys are great. Tinned food means a person who might go hungry at Christmas gets a feed. Gift vouchers make top gifts. And, of course money is most welcome. Even a single coin makes a difference. Lots of single coins make a big difference. Pre-loved soft toys can be a problem for charities because they have to pay for them to be cleaned and that costs. 

AUSSIE FLAGS. The more the better. RIDE WITH PRIDE!   

FANCY DRESS AND DECORATED BIKES. Do it. Go mad. Looks good on TV and the kids love it.

SAFETY. All road laws apply. Please do not overtake on the ride. If you want to leave the run, indicate left, pull over when it's safe and wait for the column to pass before moving on.
