Our Story …
We are really happy to announce that we're taking part in Mystery Box Rally in 2022!!
Mystery Box Rally is one of the largest community lead fundraising events for the Cancer Council in Australia having raised over $5.5 million in the last 10 years. This rally will have us driving a car that is 25 years or older along outback roads. We will do approximately 2,500kms in 5 days.
We have entered for 3 reasons: firstly to honour the memory of my sister, Sue, who died a few years ago after a battle with cancer; secondly to support the work of the Cancer Council and its research; and thirdly to travel some back roads with people who want to make a difference for cancer sufferers.
We set off from Port Lincoln & return to Port Lincoln 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. In order for us to participate we need to raise $4,000 and every dollar raised goes to the Cancer Council. We would very much appreciate it if you could donate to the cause & help us on our journey!
Mike and Nick Millard
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."

Enjoy a safe journey to Port Lincoln, enjoy the mystery cruise around Eyre Peninsula, enjoy a relaxing and much more comfortable drive home to Qld and NSW, just as much as we will enjoy hosting you whilst in Port Lincoln.

Thank you Liz and Hilton for this donation...we are looking forward to seeing you again and travelling around EP (and beyond?).
Yes, I have both my white boater and a nice cloth cap for the drive! It is a Volvo after all. By the way, Anne has just acquired a very nice red Renault Arkana, supposedly the 'new' 16TS'. Loved that car.

Hi Luke
Yes, it is a great cause. And quite personal for us as well with the loss of a younger sister, an aunt recently having breast cancer and a small tumour in my head just 2 years ago. Most of us have some connection like this. Please also keep us in your prayers as we 'rally'.

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.
$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.
