Our Story …

Team Rainbow Exhaust: Rolling for a Cause! 


This year, something colourful, noisy, and full of heart is hitting the dusty roads of the outback: it’s Team Rainbow Exhaust, taking on the 2026 Lunchbox Rally!


Starting and finishing in Dubbo, NSW; for four wild days, our little rainbow car will rattle, and (hopefully) roll its way through 2,000 kilometres of red dirt, country towns, and kangaroo crossings, all to raise money for the Cancer Council.


Our mighty machine? A “super reliable” (sort of) Mercedes C180 held together by duct tape (literally), glitter, and pure determination. It might not be the fanciest car on the road, but it’s packed with colour, laughter, and love. Every puff of exhaust carries a rainbow of hope across the outback skies!


We are driving for our family, friends, and everyone who’s ever been touched by cancer. Every kilometre means more help for researchers, more support for families, and more hope for the future. So, while we might break down, get lost, or accidentally camp with emus, we’ll never stop smiling because every laugh, every bump, and every drop of sweat brings us closer to making a difference.


So get ready to cheer as Team Rainbow Exhaust vrooms off into the dust; spreading joy, raising funds, and proving that even the silliest, most colourful little car can do something amazing for a big cause!

Here's what I'm doing …

Lunchbox Rally is not a race – it’s a fun adventure. Each night will be spent camping beneath the stars and celebrating the days achievements. It’s an incredible opportunity to see some of Australia’s vast and beautiful countryside and make new friends!

Lunchbox Rally 2026 will see teams set off from Dubbo and return to Dubbo 4 days later! Each night we will be stopping in remote outback locations to enjoy bush hospitality at its finest and be making memories that will last a life time.

The Impact, Outcomes & Charity

Lunch 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 Lunch Box Rally we can fund world-class research that reduces the impact of cancer for everyone.

$59 million over the past 15 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.
