The Ants Pants - Mystery Box Rally

What is the Blueberry Backroads Challenge all about?
Teams will take a scenic route starting and ending at the Mundubbera Showgrounds. You’ll navigate the backroads of the area stopping at secret checkpoints along the way.
At each checkpoint, you’ll roll dice and complete a quick, fun mini-challenge to score points for your team!

🚗 Vehicle Friendly: the route is 2WD friendly, though expect plenty of unsealed roads!
⏱️ Timing: Kick off with breakfast provided by Mundubbera Show Society from 7AM, all drivers must be registered prior to the drivers briefing at 8:30AM. You'll be back at the Showgrounds by 12:00 PM for prizes!
🏆 Prize for best dressed car or crew
🎟️ Entry: Only $50 per vehicle!

We didn't expect we would get this amount of exposure when we signed up for the rally last year.
But the more we interact with our communities, the more we learn how much of an impact we're having on those around us and how many people cancer effects, and it makes it worth so much more.❤️

Rallying for mum: Mundubbera high tea raises thousands for cancer research How this family is honouring a mother's memory with Ants Pants.

What a weekend!! Over $5,000 raised for the Cancer Council at our high tea at Glenrock😱

Thank you, our beautiful North Burnett community, for supporting our fundraiser and helping us raise another $5,189 for cancer research in loving memory of Micheals Mum, Lyn. That officially brings our total fundraising tally to just under $20,000!

It was extra special taking our rally car on her maiden voyage from Emerald back to Mundubbera where we first bought her. We’re happy to report that:
🐜The new head and radiator kept her running cool as a cucumber all the way
🐜The Life360 link we sent to family before we headed off wasn't needed
🐜We still know our way back to Glenrock... despite the police pulling us up for an RBT and making sure we knew where we were going 😆

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who come along, bid on the 18 amazing auction items, and helped us honor Lyn in the best way possible - with good coffee, sweet treats, and contagious laughter.

Finally, the biggest thank you to our incredible family who helped pull the high tea together and the incredibly generous businesses of the North Burnett and beyond who donated auction items.

We’ve set a big goal of reaching $30,000 before we head off from Charleville on October 23rd, and this gets us one massive step closer.

Stay tuned for more posts about this amazing event because we have more people to thank than we could ever fit in one post!! ♥️
