Dunga Derby 2024

The Dunga Derby is the major fundraising event to support the Rally for A Cause Charity in their efforts to support local Fraser Coast families with life-limiting medical conditions in need of financial and/or practical assistance.

Celebrating our 10th Year with a 5 day car rally adventure where we will travel from the coast to the bush - and back, with a field of 55 Dunga cars and support vehicles - having a load of fun along the way!

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DERBY?
Well most of it is a closely guarded secret.....you won't know where we'll be going, what we'll be doing and where we'll be staying.  Each morning and afternoon new route instructions are provided and you'll go with the flow....with some fun adventure stops and activities along the way.

Campsite facilities will be provided (they may be basic with limited showers - but it's only 4 nights!). Bring your swag, or tent, or sleep under your Dunga if you like. The Dunga Derby officials will take care of your meals and provide entertainment, while you take care of your own drinks, refreshments and snacks.

TEAMS
Dunga teams should consist of 3 or 4 people who are happy to share the driving. We are an over 18s event!

Each team must have a minimum of 2 licenced drivers (Open or P's).  Learners drivers are not permitted to drive on the Dunga Derby.

Each of our teams has a responsibility to raise a minimum $3,000 for a team of 3 and $3,500 for a team of 4.  All funds raised go directly to the Rally for a Cause Charity efforts.

We encourage entries from friends, businesses & workplaces and for those wanting to add more fun - costumes and vehicle themes are encouraged to make things more interesting.

THE DUNGA CARS
Dunga cars should be over 10 years old!

If the year of manufacture of your Dunga is pre 2000 then It's Definitely a Dunga.  If your Dunga is between 2000 - 2014 then It is a Dunga, and if its year of manufacture is after 2014 then It is NOT a Dunga and a "Luxury Car Tax" of $300 per vehicle is to be paid on registration.  If you would also like to bring something that is a 4WD then the "Luxury Car Tax" also applies.

We have friends who can help you find a cheap car – however your car must be roadworthy and must hold CTP and Third Party Insurance. It is absolutely your responsibility to ensure that your Dunga is safe. You may find the perfect Dunga and invest some love into it to keep it and use year after year.

Themed cars are welcome and encouraged, they really add to the event.

You will receive a sticker pack including door sticker and sponsors stickers that you will need to include on your car in the prescribed locations.  Other than those you are welcome to theme your car and proudly display the stickers of your own supporting donors or sponsors.

Prizes will be awarded for fundraising, teamwork and participation amoungst others… We have an awards function following the Derby.

Our Dunga entrants experience good natured rivalry and camaraderie and are treated to the finest old fashioned country hospitality.  The Dunga Derby is not a race or a timed event - it's about raising funds to support the Fraser Coast and communities we visit along the way.
