SBH Queensland
2007 Southern Cross Association Poker run
Every year since 1998, during Spina Bifida Awareness Week, the first week of September, the Southern Cross Association of bikers has held this event with all proceeds being donated to SBH Queensland.
The Poker Run is a 5 day event through country Queensland which covers nearly 3,000 km and is believed to be the longest in Australia.
The 2007 Poker Run started at Lowood Sportsgrounds on Monday 3rd September. After breakfast everyone headed to Goondiwindi to spend Monday night. Tuesday night was at Chinchilla. On Wednesday the run went to Moura, Thursday to Moranbah and the run ended in Bowen on Friday 7th September.
The 2008 Poker Run will be in North Queensland from 1st - 5th September. This year it will start at Moura and finish at Ingham. For more details please see the 2008 Poker Run webpage on the Southern Cross website.
Every year many organisations donate holidays and prizes for the Poker Run. The Southern Cross Association and SBH Queensland would like to thank the following businesses in particular, which have donated generously every year:
- Club Crocodile, Long Island
- Radio SeaFM Qld
- Southern Cross Ten
- RACQ, who provides a backup vehicle
- Torrini Leathers
