Our Story …

We are thrilled to announce that we're taking part in Mystery Box Rally 2026! This rally will have us driving a car that is 25 years or older along outback roads. We set off from Charleville & return to Charleville 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. It’s not just about the drive—it’s about making a real difference in the fight against cancer.

Every participating team is required to raise a minimum of $4,000. Every dollar raised goes directly to Cancer Council and helps fund vital cancer research, which is why we’re doing everything we can to hit our goal. Your support, whether big or small, will have a real impact.

Any help you can provide, either financial or not, is appreciated beyond measure!

Thanks so much,

Josh & Gary

Here's what I'm doing …

Mystery Box Rally is a 5-day challenge like no other. Participants drive 25+ year old cars along a mystery route, through some of Australia’s most stunning (and often rugged) landscapes, all in support of cancer research. It’s not a race—it’s a challenge and more importantly, a celebration of the power of community.

Yes, the cars break down, and yes, there are plenty of unexpected twists along the way, but that’s all part of the fun. The rally is designed to be a colourful and unpredictable experience, where teams travel in small groups, helping each other along the way. And when the day’s drive ends, we gather around the campfire, share stories, and reflect on the day’s achievements.

This event brings together people who have been impacted by cancer in different ways—whether it's through their own battles or through loved ones. Together we’ll make memories that last a lifetime while supporting the fight against cancer.

<p>Introducing the newest addition to the Outback Meter Men family, THE legendary 1998 Ford Laser GLXi.</p><p></p><p>Sporting a 1.8L feat of engineering perfection, the Laser GXLi also brings a touch of class, with a factory cassette player, INCLUDING a 6 stack CD player, which was already loaded with timeless bangers from Play School, Roy Orbison LIVE, and Elvis CDs. </p><p></p><p>The previous owner is going to absolutely spew when he realises those CDs are gone. Her glide throughout history hasn't aged this beauty one bit, surprisingly. The flaking white paint, I'm pretty sure was a factory option, so too was the greasy engine bay and crusty rusty wipers. Items on everyone's must-have list. </p><p></p><p>We can't wait to get this collectors piece out into the wilderness and turn some heads.</p>
