We are Cameron & Maurice , participating in our 3rd Shitbox Rally to raise funds for Cancer research.
The Shitbox Rally 2025 -Winter, starts in Perth & travels on outback roads some tar, some definitely not (including the Gibb River Road), ending in Darwin 8 days later.
This not your typical road trip in a nice comfortable capable 4 wheel drive, our cars are all 2 wheel drive, that cant be worth more than $1500. No hotels or motels, this is swag, tent or the back of your vehicle at outback stations, showground, racetrack or whatever patch of dirt the organisers have arranged for our overnight stays. With dust, rough challenging roads, water crossings, wildlife & livestock, lets just say it is challenging. It's also a hell of a lot of fun but more importantly it's raising funds for an extremely worthwhile organisation supporting Cancer Research, a subject that has touched so many of us.
These are just a few examples of the type of research that the Rally has supported:
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 are just 3 of the many, help us support so many more.
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 15th year. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000 but most teams raise well above this amount as you can see with the Winter 2025 rally target set at $2,000,000 plus.
All funds 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.
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.
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:
These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
