Our Story …

We are really pleased to announce that Dave and Ern are taking part in Shitbox Rally Spring 2024!

This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Bendigo to Townsville.


Dave and Ern are neighbours and golfing mates hence the team name NAGA'S, as their golfing prowess is extremely suspect.


"Two NAGA'S" at sixty, in a car barely alive,

Crossed Australia's outback, determined to thrive.

In a clunker that rattled, they laughed at each plight,

Raising funds for a cure, with each humorous sight.

Their journey, a hoot in a car that barely steers,

For a cause so noble, they earned hearty beers".


Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 14th 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 Spring 2024 rally target set at $2,000,000 plus.


These 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 and the blog post below.

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.

NAGAs at sixty ay…well if the handicap fits, wear it! Going from Bendigo to Townsville there’ll be red dust as par as the eye can see, but I’ll know you’ll green and bear it. In every regard, it will be an un-fore-gettable trip. See you at the finish line in TSV. (Hope your Shitbox is better than my bad golf puns!)

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.

$41 million over the past 13 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.
