Welcome to another great Mystery Fun Family  Car Rally
Welcome to our 2026 adventure, Sunday 15 March 2026
Since 2009  exciting journeys,  through new territories, and interesting parts of Auckland and beyond.

Regulars will remember our Wild Westie Rallies or the Carfari.
Now known as the "Lions Fun Family Car Rally"
Originally a fun day out for Blockhouse Bay-Lynfield Lions members. it later became a public fundraiser for the Blockhouse Bay Community Patrol co-founded  by the Lions to combat rising vandalism and crime in the  area,  it became the “Wild Westie Fun Car Rally”,

Now as the "Lions Fun Family Car Rally" funds raised go to varied other Lions projects,  child mobility and cancer, Kids Can, youth awards, disaster relief, diabetes awareness, sight, or wherever there is a need.

Our team researches various routes in advance, seeking out landmarks and points of interest that are included in a cryptic quiz  itinerary for the cars’ navigators to work out. This adds excitement to the average 2.5 hours drive, and a sense of achievement when finally arriving at the secret destination. 
It is not a race, but pure driving pleasure in good company.
Safe driving is the priority.  OK, there is a bit of friendly competition when final points for accuracy and closeness to the judges' calibrated kms travelled are compared. No big prizes-perhaps a bag of lollies. The true reward is great day out and the enjoyment of visiting places you might never ever go to.
Backed up with procedures to “help” those who might stray off course get back on track.

The mid way break this year will enable rally entrants to visit an artisans market,  obtain refreshments, produce and crafts.  
The final destination will be popular with entrants, and the Lions will have a tasty sausage treat waiting for them to add to their own BYO lunch.
With nearby cafes there is also the opportunity to buy alternative food, eat in or takeaway.

You will be free to explore the interesting area, take in the history or just chill out with fellow travellers.
We advise to bringing, picnic gear, chairs, swim gear, good walking shoes, outdoor clobber, etc., you never know what you will need for the journey, destination or places on the  return journey.

All proceeds go to our Lions Club's Fund for Community Needs
