Sh*tbox Rally - Driving with a Crank

How good is it to be visiting a small town in NSW at the same time that Lunchbox Rally is going through?!! Have the best time rally family!!! Just watch the closed roads in Gil!!

Very proud to have been part of this!! Amazing memories, excellent buddy group, questionable car choice 😂🙄 photo montage coming soon!!!

The numbers are in!! The teams of Sh*tbox Rally 2026 - Spring raised over $2.4M for Cancer Council Australia ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, supported, and helped spread the word about this rally. Reaching this milestone is a testament to what is possible when a community comes together with a shared purpose.

To the teams, thank you for your tireless fundraising efforts - and thank you for all the incredible moments and memories we all take away from each rally. Without you, there are no rallies, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do - both on and off the dusty dirt roads.

That's $2,485,561 raised for Sh*tbox Rally 2026 - Spring, with all funds going to the Cancer Council!

Captains log - Day 17 of travels in a sh*tbox… the final leg of phase 3 is underway! Headed back to Sunshine Coast today, no more tshirts and shorts, no more bumpy, dusty roads, no more wide loads! We left in a Tarago, designed with lots of colour and interactive board games, full of hopes and dreams.. we return with full hearts, empty wallets and a replacement sh*tbox!! Recovery phase for the tarago will be completed within the month, removal of dust and dirt from hair will be this week and everything else will blend back into normal life!!! Only thing left is to draw the raffle, I’ll do that this weekend so raffle extended until Saturday, will do a live draw event on Sunday 30 August 2026, time to be confirmed!! Thank you all for your support ❤️🚙

Let’s begin Phase 3 in Cranky Commo! This is salvage and journey home phase 😂🙏🚙 as we have limited reception until salvage, we will draw the raffle either tonight or tomorrow morning so you still have time to buy tickets in our $1000 prize draw and also help our final tally move towards $15000!

You won’t see our car over the finish line but you will see us!! Keep an eye out this afternoon on the socials for our walk of shame across the line 😂 no it’s not a shame at all, we have raised over $12000 and there’s still more to bank, don’t forget, we have that raffle on until Sunday, if we can win some thing on this trip, you should have the chance too as well!!! https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/DesignPageV2.aspx?origin=NeoPortalPage&subpage=design&id=-pwM3gEatUO2Yyg49wqDzVbJYAL3MQBIohPWPYXJuS5UMkJBSVpXQTZSSTZBSUJGSUNGUFVBOFYyRS4u&analysis=false

It’s our bittersweet end to what has been a truly magical experience for the teams of Sh*tbox Rally 2026 (almost) Spring Edition. When these truly incredible teams roll over the finish line, it will be absolutely epic. It will be the culmination of a year’s worth of fundraising. It will be the end to an tremendous adventure of grit, humour and heart. There will be tears. There will be smiles. There will be hugs and there will be more tears.
