Our Story …

We are really happy to announce that we're taking part in Mystery Box Rally again, the last 3 years have been epic so we are super excited for 2026. Our trusty Toy Story themed 1988 Ford Laser is up for the challenge again!!

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.

This is in memory of our family and friends who have been affected by the horrible C (too many to name but we know who you are x) But more closer to our hearts Vicki lost her Grandpa in June 2023 after a short battle with gallbladder cancer and her step Mum sadly passing in February 2021 after a long tough battle. Troy's dad has been a Cancer WARRIOR since 2015 💛🎗

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.

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.
