Our Story …
Dane and Damo are doing the Mystery Box Rally to raise money for cancer research.
This rally will have us driving the aerodynamically challenged Volvo 240 “Brick” along outback roads. We will do approximately 2,500kms in 5 days. We set off from Airlie Beach & return to Airlie Beach 5 days later, each day in between is a mystery! To make things even more challenging first we've got to get from Sydney to Airlie!
We’ve covered the front and back of Bluey the Volvo in chalkboard paint. For donations over $100 you can draw whatever you like on the car*.
We’re both paying our own way in terms of car, equipment and accommodation, but in order for us to participate we need to raise at least $4,000 and every dollar raised goes to Cancer Council. We would very much appreciate it if you could donate to the cause & help us on our journey!
Mystery Box Rally is one of the largest community lead fundraising events for Cancer Council in Australia having raised over $7 million in the last 11 years. Cancer has affected the people we both love and the research done by the Cancer Council to better treat and prevent cancers is incredible. We’re excited to be contributing towards strengthening that.
*as long as what you draw is family friendly. If you insist then for donations over $1000 you can draw something rude.

Here's what I'm doing …
Teams will drive their own 25+ year old cars along a mystery route in this unique 5-day challenge, all in the name of cancer research. The route is a loop starting and finishing at the same location, but all the other details are kept under wraps, only given to the teams each morning.
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.

Hi Guys,
Have a great time. Nice starting point. Better than Glen Innes. If you have time can you scribble Peter Sam and Dan on the car so the grandkids can get a thrill if they can read.
Stay safe and enjoy yourselves

Thanks Peter for the support! Hopefully the pictures of the names have made their way to you by now! It won't be the same without the two old doctors and their cathether bags, but we'll make do :)

The Impact, Outcomes & Charity
Mystery Box 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 Mystery Box 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.
