Our Story …
We are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally Spring 2022, driving from Mackay to Darwin in our recently purchased '91 Toyota Corolla.
Box Rallies is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 13th year. To participate, each team must raise a minimum of $5,000 but most raise well above this amount, as you can see from the 2022 Spring rally target which is set at $2,500,000 plus.
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 make is greatly appreciated. Please make sure to follow our progress via this page and the blog post below.
Ben and Gary Hattersley - Bombi Road Bashers
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.

Harold Thomsett gave $500.00.
Harold donated cash which I transferred online. Harold is an exceptionally gracious man in his late 80's who I have only known a short time, but I am proud to call my friend. Formerly an executive at the highest levels within Australia's banking sector - he is an extremely intelligent and generous man, from humble beginnings, with a wonderful sense of humour. Thank you Harold, I owe you a few Strongbows, Ben.

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.
