Our Story …
We are stoked to announce that we're taking part in Mystery Box Rally again in 2022!! Team Babs is the mother and daughter team of Chris and Amy Bairstow, together with invaluable behind-the-scenes support by husband and Dad Phil.
Mystery Box Rally is one of the largest community lead fundraising events for the Cancer Council in Australia, having raised over $30 MILLION to date for cancer research and support.
This year's rally will have us driving a car that is 25 years or older (that is, our 1988 Holden Commodore VN) around 2,500km along outback roads. 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. We need to raise a minimum of $4,000 and every dollar raised goes to the Cancer Council.
Personally, we're aiming for $6,000 which means we will have raised $20,000 for Cancer Council over three different rallies.
We would so appreciate if you could donate to the cause & help us on our journey!
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."

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.
