Our Story …
Hi there, 'Midlife Cruisers' (aka Dick and Ivan) are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in the Shitbox Rally in May 2025. Each team is driving their shitbox from Canberra to Townsville over a five day journey, via outback Silverton, Marree, Birdsville, Boulia and Hughendon. The trip takes the route least travelled over some of Australias most iconic dirt roads.
Everyone either knows or is related to someone who has been touched by cancer. Any support you can offer will help us raise funds that will go towards vital research as the Cancer Council strives for a cancer free future. 100% of all donations go to the Cancer Council meaning every dollar helps make a difference.
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.

To Dick and Ivan. One of you I’ve known since I was 15 or 16. The other one I meet for the first (and hopefully not the last!) time at a big party held at a sheep station. Hope to see you both in 2 weeks time 😉

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.
$50 million over the past 15 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.
