There are 500 people travelling in dirt cheap cars from Rockhampton to Hobart for a cause close to their hearts.

abc.net.au/news/s-box-rally-rockhampton-to-hobart-cancer-research/102110962Steve Richards is "definitely not" a revhead, but the Queensland man is once again driving a "beautiful lime green" wagon on a seven-day adventure across thousands of kilometres of back roads.While Mr Richards hopes it once again carries him across the rally finish line, he admits the wagon has needed some running repairs in the past.

The main rules are that the car's value must not exceed $1,500, and each vehicle has to raise at least $5,000 and carry two people.For founder James Freeman OAM, and many participants, every rally is a personal event."So rather than just doing an office job and putting some small contribution each month through to cancer research, I came up with this idea and ran with it.

Teamwork and generous mechanics make overcoming challenges such as breakdowns and punctures achievable.
