🎉 THE QUEENS ARE BACK FOR ROUND TWO! 🎉We didn't learn our lesson the first time! Lady Sarah Sanders-Rowles and Shannon Gray-Ellsmore are officially backing it up and taking on our SECOND Shitbox Rally—Winter 2027! This time, we are tackling the brutal, dusty tracks from Cairns to Darwin. Our chariot? A soon to be clapped out glorious 2004 VY Holden Commodore station wagon. We know exactly how much dust, breakdown chaos, and pure adrenaline we are in for—and we can't wait to do it all over again!
🚗💨 WHY WE ARE DRIVING
The destination changes, but our mission stays exactly the same. This is deeply personal. We are driving in honour of Shannon's incredible Mother, Ardis ‘Sparkles’ Ellsmore and Father, Terry Ellsmore, who both defined what it is to be an amazing human being. We are also hitting the dirt for our families, friends, our amazing co-workers at The Provedores, our precious #doggos - most recently Sarahs precious 'Burger Brown Sanders', and every single person whose life has been shaken by cancer. We are driving for the fighters, the survivors, the supporters, and the beautiful souls we've lost.

Queens Without A Clue! are driving a $1,500 car from Cairns to Darwin to raise money for Cancer Council
They're doing what!?
Shitbox Rally is a 7-day challenge like no other. Participants drive cars worth no more than $1,500 through some of Australia's most stunning (and often rugged) landscapes, all in support of cancer research. It's not a race — it's a challenge and more importantly, a celebration of the power of community.
Yes, the cars break down, and yes, there are plenty of unexpected twists along the way, but that's all part of the fun.
The rally is designed to be a colourful and unpredictable experience, where teams travel in small groups, helping each other along the way.
And when the day's drive ends, we gather around the campfire, share stories, and reflect on the day's achievements.
This event brings together people who have been impacted by cancer in different ways — whether it's through their own battles or through loved ones. Together we'll make memories that last a lifetime while supporting the fight against cancer.
Donate NowEvery rally. Every dollar.

Box Rallies is the largest funder of cancer research in Australia — outside of the government. Every dollar supports Cancer Council.
