What is the Smokey Blue Rally?

The Smokey Blue Rally is the inaugural fundraiser for registered charity Moyamoya Australia.

The rally is a ‘write your own adventure’ activity that will see participants visiting at least 5 of the 11 identified towns on the Atherton Tablelands while they search for tokens using cryptic clues.

Participants are registered in the family friendly event from all over the Tablelands and down the North Queensland coast. They will depart from their homes and collect their first token no earlier than 8am, then end their day at Undara Experience by 4pm.

You can read more about it here: www.smokeybluerally.com.au

Why is the Atherton Chamber involved?

The committee see the value in the exposure that the rally can bring to the Tablelands, whilst also supporting a worthwhile charity raising awareness for the rare Moyamoya Syndrome.

We understand the difficult times that our members are facing and we have sponsored on behalf of local businesses to help ensure a successful event.

The Smokey Blue Rally has already had significant media exposure, and we believe if we do this right, it will get plenty more for our region.
