For those of you asking what this is, Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 14th year. You and over 200 other participants drive across country in cars worth under 1.5k. We will be making the journey inland from Bendigo, VIC to Townsville, QLD.
Massive shoutout to the teams at Cobra Motors and Delaware North Companies Australia who have helped us get our 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer up, running and roadworthy! The Barbie Car made it to the finish line in Townsville. We ended up with 4 flat tyres and a few cracks and chips in the windscreen, but otherwise she ran like a charm!
All our love and thanks for the support!
Barbie & Ken.

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.
