The Shire of Ashburton is proud to provide in-kind sponsorship to the Australasian Safari, due to roar into Onslow on September 24.

The Council approved to support the Australasian Safari with in-kind support, valued at $7500, at its meeting on June 18. Deputy Shire President Linton Rumble said it would be an exciting event for the entire region as it’s been seven years since the Safari last went through the Pilbara.

“This adrenaline-filled off road racing event will be televised around the world, showcasing the beautiful outback,” Cr Rumble said.

The Australasian Safari is known as Australia’s toughest motorsport adventure, when over  100 Auto, Moto, Quad and SxS competitors will be participating in the endurance rally, which covers over 4,000 kilometres of Western Australian outback. 

Motorsport fans will have the opportunity to experience the Safari atmosphere, and see the competitors and their machines up close, at the event bivouac on Onslow Town Oval from 3pm – 7pm. This community event will also feature road safety talks, entertainment and a BBQ.
