Southern Cross Association Poker Run 2010

The first week in September is Spina Bifida Awareness Week and every year the Southern Cross Association holds a 5 day poker run to raise funds for SBH Queensland. Last year the Run attracted 320 motorbikes and raised $40 000.

This year the Southern Cross are looking to go even better and have 400 bikes riding through outback Queensland. This September’s run starts at Yuleba near Roma with overnight stops at Charleville, Windorah, Winton, Charters Towers and Clermont. More information on the Southern Cross Association and their support of SBH Queensland can be found on their website.
