Meet Rachel
Meet Rachel Gibbeson, our Motoring Events Specialist for the East Coast. Rach looks after our FUNx4 crew from their initial enquiry until after the event takes place.
How long you have worked at Camp Quality and which events do you look after?
I joined Camp Quality in 2019 and help deliver the esCarpade and FUNx4 events.
What is your favourite part of FUNx4?
FUNx4 is the best experience! It is really life-changing!
I don’t think I just have one favourite part of FUNx4… the people, the laughter, the tracks, the challenges and the lifelong friends you make on this trip, all while doing it for an amazing cause, make this event one to remember and take part in.
What are you excited about for the 2023 event?
I can’t wait to go and see central Australia. This is something I have never done before, but being able to camp in the desert and experience that with like-minded people will be one for the books!
I am also very excited to meet the new entrants who register for this event – we love getting new FUNx4 crew members!
We're very social

Meet Ben
How long have you worked with Camp Quality and which events are you involved in?
I’ve been involved with Camp Quality since 2004. Since then, I have mapped out 17 x esCarpades, 3 x wesCarpades and 3 x FUNx4 events, visited over 250 regional towns, driven around 207,000km with over 100,000km of that on dirt, crossed deserts, scrambled up Billy Goat Bluff and eaten close to 380 pub meals.
What's your favourite part of FUNx4?
That’s easy. The people and the country. I like watching experienced drivers make it look easy. I like seeing the sense of achievement light up an inexperienced driver’s face when they conquer a challenge that they previously considered impossible. I love the vastness of our country and how amazing it is. I love sitting around the campfire at night and hearing a simple river-crossing story spun into a life-changing experience. And, of course, being a Camp Quality event – I love the laughter!!
What are you excited about for the 2023 event?
This year I’m really looking forward to the challenge of the roads, putting my driving skills and the Isuzu to the test. There are reportedly 1100 sand dunes in our desert crossing. That’s 1100 tests we will all need to pass… I also love camping in the desert. Each day’s camp site is chosen at random, and the complete absence of pollution and urban lighting makes the night sky eye-popping. I guarantee you, you have never SEEN the Milky Way until you see it from the desert!
Our Community
The very first FUNx4 took place in 2018, had 10 cars and raised $50,000.
Fast forward to today, and our FUNx4 crew have shared countless laughs and raised over $300,000 for Camp Quality and its work helping children whose lives have been impacted by cancer.
