Three lawyers from Corrs Chambers Westgarth have done the unthinkable and driven all the way from Sydney to Alice Springs in a car that cost less than $1000 - otherwise known as a "shitbox".
This year, the rally raised about $92,000 with 38 participants taking part in 17 teams.
Raising $5000 with his team, the "Havana Express", Edwards said he was amazed nothing went wrong, except for a flat tyre. "We purchased a 1993 Ford Falcon for $800 and weren't too sure how the car would hold up, so we were very happy when, even though not officially a race, we were the second car to arrive in Alice Springs," he said.
"The support the rally received everywhere we went was humbling....despite sounding like a cliché, it was also an awesome experience to witness firsthand the true grandeur of Australia."
The founder of the event, James Freeman, said: "The event was a huge success and we will be expanding it again next year with a different destination but still plenty of fun and adventure."
