MOTORBIKES will be heard all down Commercial Street this weekend with the annual Limestone Coast Toy Run underway.

The packs will contain four vouchers to the value of $150 per pack including a $50 Coles voucher, $50 Kmart voucher, $30 Foodbank voucher and a Wulanda Family Day pass.

Four Reasons Why aims to produce 200 packs and distribute them through Sunset Kitchen, ac.care, Centacare, Mulga Street Primary School, North Gambier Primary School, Melaleuca Primary School, Pangula Mannamurna Aboriginal Health Organisation, MacDonald Park Primary School and Kalangadoo Primary School.
