In April 2012 McGregor Rose and Gary Coyle (aka Team You ‘n McGregor) are participating in a large-scale charity fundraiser for the Cancer Council known as the Shitbox Rally. This is exactly what it sounds like: a car rally, consisting of some 180+ vehicles all under the value of $1000 each, “racing” 3800km from Melbourne to Cairns over seven days. In terms of motor racing, the tongue is planted firmly in cheek (the chosen vehicle is a 1969 Kombi van!), but the fundraising angle of the rally is entirely serious.
On Sunday 25th of March the The Retreat Hotel and the fellas are putting together a host of local artists, bands and DJ’s throughout the day, beginning 3pm and going through the night. Acts include Laura Imbruglia, Wild Turkey, Blackchords, Swamplands, Dan Lethbridge and Damon Smith, Ben Salter, Jack On Fire and Buried Horses. Entry is a $10 donation.
