Hey mate, didn't realise you had done that track before! I think some of those photos are from Cummings Track which is apparently around the corner from Ellis.

Yeah long time ago. Did it my old hilux no lockers and it was pretty easy in the dry. I think it's been left as a bit of a playground track that's why is petty knarly. Used to be quite a few challenging ones in that wesburn area think some have been closed and others are maintained to a nice standard. Will be interesting to have a bit of a look round tho.

Hmm, yeah okay! I think it might be a bit trickier now, but I did watch a video of a Disco get up it.
It has been voted as the hardest 4WD track in Aus by Mud Map.

I like how they have photos of a nearly standard pathfinder on the track. . . It certainly would be hard in that! !

Looks like jono is my winch buddy (biatch). . . Looking forward to it. . . Should be interesting. . . ☺

I had a looksee up Ellis Track a few months ago in the dry .... I know it from my motorbike rides, and it is hard enough on the bike ( but we normally go up in the wet ).

A couple of weeks prior to our club trip going through there, a Landy came to a massive amount of grief with a big rollover. It was all gone and cleaned up - with no traces left behind when we went through.

I drove up to around halfway, where I had to stop, get out and start planning lines around and behind some of the big boulders where I couldn't quite remember what was over the other side. I scrambled up, and I worked out my lines and that it was driveable with no lockers in the dry with hopefully no panel damage ( if you stayed on the only line available ), but no-one else would come up with me. Probably lucky for me .....

I ended up backing back down to recover a teetering vehicle stuck below me, as I was in the best spot to help, and after some short deliberation, decided that it would be wise to leave it to the bike.
