Our Story …
We are pleased to announce that we're taking part in the Shitbox Rally 2025 - Winter! This year, all teams are driving shitbox cars (worth $1500 or less) from Perth to Darwin - a tiny 41 hours non-stop drive, or 3,891 km (as the crow flies!).
We will also be driving our rusty motor from Sydney to Perth first!! (3,931KMs via the Nullarbor!) to make it to the start-line on time. From here our adventure (proper) begins! - 6 nights of minimal sleeps in a tent under the stars, and 7 long days spent traversing the WA/NT desert wilderness via dirt roads (well, er.. no roads !!) to reach our final destination of Darwin!! An oasis nestled in the croc-infested top end of Aus.
Shitbox Rally is the largest community fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia, and is now in its 15th year. To participate, each team needs to raise a minimum of $5,000, with funds going to Cancer Council (ABN 51 116 463 846). And aside from being a little bit (aka A LOT) CRAZY!, Rick and I are extremely proud to be doing our bit to support the fight against the dreaded "C". I never had chance to say goodbye to my Dad, we're doing this now in the hope others won't need to say goodbye as a result of a diagnosis from this terrible disease!
Despite the many challanges of this adventure, our biggest challenge is fundraising to get us on the road. Any donation you can muster is most EPICALLY appreciated!! Please donate what ever small amount you can (it's fully tax deductable too!!! (Cancer Council ABN 51 116 463 846)) and save the link to follow our progress in the lead up, and during our ShitBox adventures!
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.
