Our Story …
Days of Thunder. Where do we start this amazing story? Grab a cup of tea, gather your family around and read on.....
In 2017 two men set out to conquer some of Australia's harshest terrain in a 1990 Toyota Camry station wagon, forever known as the #JetMkI. That Adelaide to Cairns journey turned them into legends in the Camry tuning scene.
In 2018, the Days of Thunder team, once again, conquered the Australian outback, with an epic journey from Brisbane to Darwin - This time, in a 1995 Holden VR Commodore, that the world remembers as the #JetMkII.
In 2019, That indestructible VR Commodore backed it up with a Perth to Sydney blast right through the guts of Australia.
Today....We are back for Shitbox Rally 2025 - Winter! This epic drive will take us from Perth to Darwin, via the Gibb River Road, in our 1999 VT Commodore, #JetMkIII
The money we raise will go to Cancer Council and we are extremely proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity. The fundraising is the hard part, so any donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Please make sure to follow our progress via this page and the blog post below.
Here's what I'm doing …
Shitbox Rally is the adventure of a lifetime challenging participants and their cars, worth no more than $1,500, on a 7 day drive across Australia to raise money for cancer research.
The rally is not a race – it’s a fun, colourful, unpredictable adventure with participants travelling at their own pace in smaller groups. Vehicles often break down but “we never leave anyone behind” and each night is spent camping beneath the stars and celebrating the day’s achievements. It all adds up to an incredible opportunity to see Australia’s vast and beautiful countryside and make lifelong friends, many brought together after experiencing cancer themselves or seeing cancer impact family and friends.
Since it’s inception the rally has been the largest fundraiser for the Cancer Council nationally.

The Impact, Outcomes & Charity
Shitbox Rally is a dedicated fundraising event for cancer research with funds going to Cancer Council.
Cancer Council is one of the largest non-government funders of cancer research in Australia. We conduct and fund research studies across all cancers and all stages of the cancer journey.
Thanks to the community funds raised such as Shitbox Rally we can fund world-class research that reduces the impact of cancer for everyone.
$50 million over the past 15 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:
- A research study to develop a vaccine that protects against lymphoma cancers.
- A research trial to standardise international guidelines on melanoma removal.
- A research grant to revolutionise the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
