Our Story …

We are really happy to announce that we're taking part in Mystery Box Rally in 2023!! Mystery Box Rally is one of the largest community lead fundraising events for the Cancer Council in Australia having raised over $6 million in the last 10 years. This rally will have us driving a car that is 25 years or older along outback roads. We will do approximately 2,500kms in 5 days. We set off from Bundaberg & return to Bundaberg 5 days later, each day in between is a mystery, we have no idea where we will be headed until just before departure the next morning. In order for us to participate we need to raise $4,000 and every dollar raised goes to the Cancer Council. We would very much appreciate it if you could donate to the cause & help us on our journey!

Here's what I'm doing …

Teams will drive their own 25+ year old cars along a mystery route in this unique 5-day challenge, all in the name of cancer research. The route is a loop starting and finishing at the same location, but all the other details are kept under wraps, only given to the teams each morning.

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."

<p>Update 1!</p><p></p><p>The Mercedes W123 proved to be a difficult task, so was thrown in the too hard basket. Luckily, a VS Commodore sedan came up and was promptly acquired. Complete with bald tyres, questionable odometer reading and 26 years of interior grot, it was taken to Torquay for assessment. On the trip the centre bearing disintegrated, which made it a much more lively and exciting journey, necessitating a brief toilet stop. Without further ado, meet the Red Rocket.</p>

<p>Well the car has been receiving some love over the last few weeks, 26 years of grime was cleaned out from the inside and outside, making it habitable. The centre bearing was then replaced making the car drivable again. Once this noise was fixed, the noise of the front engine pulleys became apparent, so they were replaced also. The drivers window received new internals to make it go up and down, then an electric gremlin that had me stumped for days was fixed in 2 minutes by @sparky misso, thanks Sparky! The boot floor had a hole the size of a lunchbox, so this was cut out and new metal welded in. Grinding and welding beside the fuel tank made the task more interesting. Next was brake bleeding, with assistant @sheryl finch learning a new life skill, then handbrake adjustment. Also thanks to @torquay tyrepower, we received 5 new All Terrain tyres as a sponsor deal, so a huge shout out to Nick and the boys.</p><p></p>

The Impact, Outcomes & Charity

Mystery Box 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 Mystery Box Rally we can fund world-class research that reduces the impact of cancer for everyone.

$46 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.
