November is the perfect time of year to enjoy the great outdoors. Warmer weather minus the sweltering temperatures of summer should coerce you into the beaches and beautiful nature Australia has to offer. Here’s some of the best events going on this month:
NATIONAL
Mystery Box Rally
The Mystery Box Rally is a joyride with a difference. On 28th November, 75 teams will buckle up in Sydney and embark on a week-long journey across the red centre of Australia, all in the name of raising money for the Cancer Council. Drivers won’t know where they’re going or what they will be driving in until the day before. Then they will have the opportunity to bid for a mystery car to drive. Mystery Box Rally was started in 2010 and has so far raised over $4.4 million for the Cancer Council.
