Trafficwerx NT Turns 15 – A Look Back and a Cheers to the Future!

At Trafficwerx NT, we are proud to have played a small part in supporting an incredible event—the Variety NT Bash Top End Trek. As sponsors of the Tonka Tow car, we were honoured to contribute to the amazing efforts of Variety NT, which raised an incredible $283,101.04 across all teams this year.

Variety NT works tirelessly to help children in need across the Northern Territory, providing vital support and life-changing opportunities. The Top End Trek is just one of the many ways they bring the community together for a great cause, and we are humbled to be involved through our sponsorship of Tonka Tow.

One of the highlights of the event was Orange Day, and we couldn’t resist adding some extra fun by kitting out the Tonka Tow team in traffic cone outfits! It was a fantastic way to raise awareness for road safety while embracing the spirit of the bash. Our team looked the part and had a great time representing safety in a colourful, lighthearted way.

We were also honoured to receive a certificate of appreciation from Variety NT for our involvement. While our contribution was small, we’re proud to have been part of such a meaningful cause and to support the amazing work that Variety NT does.

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the participants, donors, and volunteers who made this year’s trek such a success. Your dedication ensures that Variety NT can continue their important work.
