Our Story …
We are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally in 2019!!
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 10th 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 $2,000,000 target.
These funds go to the 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.

Thanks so much for the donation. I think this is going to be a bit more of a challenge than Wisemans particularly with 50 more years under the belt !!!! Brought the A/C back from QLD today for the exodus to the warm etc. Take care and have a great 2018. Kip

Thank you so much for that very generous donation and the kind words ---- we are not allowed to speed !!! particularly in our $700 dollar " Golden Holden" I am in the process of decorating it at the moment and yes it will be a challenge but a lot of fun will be had.

Josh Murray Design gave $300.00.
I know you guys are going to do the family proud! Between the two of you there's some solid car knowledge so I have complete faith in you getting to the finish line... with at least 3 wheels and an engine still attached to the car. It's going to be challenging and a load of fun! xx Josh

Hi Peter and Kerrie, Thank you for your generous donation and kind words. The $700 "Golden Holden" is almost ready to perform --- having some trouble with the LED rotating beacon on the fin but it will sort tomorrow. Cam is really looking forward to the "outing" !!!

Thank you so much Susie. Unfortunately there will be a couple of days when nothing is able to be sent [ unless Cam has a Sat phone ] as the is no Telco coverage. And 1 is handsome and 1 is not so !!!! And yes the adventure will be great. Am putting the SBR stickers on now --- I will send more photos later. Take care and congratulations on the house. Much love Chris [ Kip ] XXX

Geoffrey Van Wachem gave $100.00.
Hi Chris...Firstly, thank you for the opportunity of being involved with some advertising on your most prestigious vehicle.. No doubt about it, an old Holden will get you to the finish line (and hopefully back) :-) Also very happy to be able to make a small contribution to such a worthy cause, as also a family history of cancer loss which makes a person feel more directly involved. As you mentioned in your story...its the children who are just starting off in life that have such an impact on our hearts and minds when such a devastating disease effects their lives and that of their families. All the very best to you and Cameron for a maintenance free and successful journey. Geoff, Kate, Charlotte & Coco Van Wachem
PS. And how good will it be with the "re gassed" air con :-)

Thank you Geoff and family for the kind donation [ plus stickers ] also for the very nice words. We dont have to bring the car home here as it will be auctioned off in Darwin with proceeds going to Cancer Council --- so your face will travel on !!!

Thank you Carol and Jordan for your very kind donation and wishes. The car is going well [ even the A/C is working] and almost covered in stickers. I think that your trip to Europe will be more comfortable than ours to Darwin !!! Any way I am sure that it will be fun providing the car remains in one piece. Take care and thanks again Chris

Hi Jo and Martin from down under, Thank you for your donation and for providing Cam with a lovely partner. Yes I agree a little different to the UK but it will be a lot of fun [and dust/flies/ordinary food/old cars plus lack of sleep !!! ] But memories and many photos knowing Cam. It will be the first time for a very long period that Cam and I have spent time together which will be great. Looking forward to catching up one day in the future. Once again thank you and take care. Regards Chris [ Kip ] Murray & Lizzie Cook

I hope all went well in SA and you enjoyed yourselves. Yes there will be some interesting stories which will come later. I just received an email from the rally people and it contained the maps ---- 85 pages !!!--- mostly dirt roads. Thanks again and see you at coffee. Regards Chris

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.
