The vehicle be on-site will ahead of the club’s mini golf fundraiser for the Superheroes Foundation, running from Wednesday, April 16 to Friday, April 18.
The foundation provides much needed support for families experiencing financial hardship caused by brain cancer treatments.
Superheroes Foundation event co-ordinator Ken Jobst said costs can pile up fast for families dealing with cancer.
“Costs can quickly be overwhelming and parents often stop working to care for loved ones, so the foundation is there to support these costs,” she said.
“Superheroes Foundation covers essential out-of-pocket costs including treatment-related expenses, medications for side-effects, travel to medical appointments, childcare for siblings, hospital parking fees and specialist appointments.”
The Batmobile was made famous in the 1960s TV series Batman and Robin and has been coveted by many fans around the world.
The replica visiting Rich River is owned by Melbourne man and Batman fanatic Peter Robinson.
The vehicle was built more than seven years and cost more than half-a-million dollars to make.
The five-metre Batmobile comes with a working bat phone, flame throwing rocket exhaust and has all the gadgets, including a detective scope, emergency bat turn lever and remote bat computer.
Rich River marketing and events manager Deanne Armstrong said the club was happy to support the cause of the Superheroes Foundation.
“Rich River is proud to support the Superheroes Foundation to help raise much-needed funds assisting families affected by brain cancer,” she said.
“We hope the funds raised from mini golf will help ease some of the financial costs associated with the treatment they need."
From Wednesday, April 16 to Friday, April 18, Rich River is inviting visitors to play a game of mini golf with all proceeds going to the Superheroes Foundation.
A scavenger hunt will also be held on the Friday with Batman and Robin making a guest appearance from 5pm.
