Our Story …

We are proud to announce we are taking on the Shitbox Rally this Spring! - A demanding 3,000km+ trip through the tough Australian outback from Bendigo VIC, to Townsville in QLD, all in a cheap $1,500 shitbox.

This lunacy is all in the name of raising money for the amazing Cancer Council - and their ongoing work towards a cancer-free future.

One in two Australian men and women will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85, and is something that hits home for a lot of us.

Our team, Grandpa Spec Rallying, is aiming to raise $10,000 for this amazing charity as we prepare for the rally this October.

Every donation over $20 gets YOUR name on OUR car.

Every donation over $50 gets you involved in our Pre-Rally BINGO (follow our instagram @grandpaspecc)

All donations are much appreciated (and tax deductible 💰).

Boy do we have some exciting things in store for your eyeballs.

Join us on our journey to see if our shitbox will survive the outback, as we tackle it alongside 250+ other brilliant teams and their nuggets.

So Follow, Like, Donate - and keep your prescription glasses glued to our socials.


It’s a bumpy road ahead.

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.

$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.
