👻🍔 GHOSTBOGANS UPDATE 🍔👻

Well… IT’S FINALLY OVER! 😂

After all the dramas, breakdowns, mechanical tantrums and enough swearing to make a sailor blush… the old girl is RUNNING again! 🔧🔥

The XH has officially been DE-GHOSTBOGANED and is back on the road! 👻➡️🚐

So now comes the big question…

WHAT THE HELL DO WE DO NEXT? 🤔😂

Stay tuned… because knowing us, this probably isn’t the end of the trouble. It’s just the beginning of the next adventure! 🍻👻

And finally a massive thanks to all our business sponsors and to everyone that donated. The 2026 autumn s**t box raised just under $2.5 million

She lives!!!!!!!

Ever since we got home, the old van has cracked the s**ts and refuses to start! 😂

You’d think dragging her over 7,000 km of rough roads, mud, dust, creek crossings and giving everything she had was somehow “mistreating” her… 🤷‍♂️

Looks like she’s decided she’s earned a well-deserved holiday. Time to get the tools out and convince the old girl she’s not retiring just yet! 🔧🚐💨

🚗💨 SHE'S HOME. Filthy, rattling, and somehow still running — the Ghostbogans pano has rolled back into Bendigo this arvo!

We left central Vic on the 5th to get up to Port Douglas, rally kicked off the 10th, and we rolled into Melbourne Friday the 17th after a proper outback thrashing. A couple of days respite (and celebrations) in Melbourne, and now she's finally home.

All up: 7,257km, around 1100 litres of fuel burnt getting there and back, and most importantly $9,286 raised for the Cancer Council and counting.

That's not us, that's YOU. Every share, every donation, every "go you good thing" comment, it all added up.

Donations are still open for a couple more weeks if you haven't chucked something in yet, every dollar counts 👇

So Buddy Group 12 crossed the finish line in style today, huge shoutout to those who came to see us over the line, streamed online and came to celebrate with us in Melbourne tonight. It means the world to us that we’ve got such passionate people behind us.

An amazing experience is to be had on any Sh*tbox Rally, we’ve gone from the tropics to the snow, red dirt to ice and mud roads.

If you haven’t donated to this great cause yet, and want to get something in before the fundraising closes, you can visit https://ghostbogans.com.au to find our links, and also swing past the s**tbox rally website to see future rallies, if you think you’re up for it.

Cheers guys, it’s been a blast!

Well… it’s the final day! 🥲

We woke up to a freezing morning in Dargo, with an absolute ripper campsite by the river at the Dargo Hotel. The scenery was 10/10… the temperature? About -37° (give or take 😂).

Now, there may have been a small incident involving some mud last night. We can neither confirm nor deny that a tiny amount of alcohol may have been involved… 🍻🤷‍♂️

Let’s just say there’s a fair bit of laundry waiting for us when we get home! 😅
