We’re excited to announce that we’ll be hitting the road for the Shitbox Rally Winter 2026!
This event isn’t just about the drive — it’s about taking a stand in the fight against cancer, a cause that holds a special meaning for us personally. Sadly, it’s hard to find someone whose life hasn’t been touched by this disease.
Coming from the timber flooring industry, we’ve joined forces to form Sandman Racer. Our journey will take us from Mildura to Townsville — a 7-day adventure through the rugged beauty of the Australian outback. We’re looking forward to every dusty, unforgettable kilometre and we’ll be sharing the highs (and the lows!) along the way. Follow our adventure on Instagram, Facebook, and our website — we’d love to have you along for the ride! Each team in the rally must raise a minimum of $5,000, and every single dollar goes directly to the Cancer Council to support life-saving cancer research. That’s why we’re putting in everything we’ve got to reach — and hopefully exceed — our goal.
Your support means the world to us. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Let’s drive change — together.
Sandman Racer are fundraising 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.
