Depending on time we may also wanna look at Cumming Spur Track? I've never driven it but hear it's good...

Good morning gentlemen, I recon Ellis will take a lot of your time up and would recommend looking at some vids of Cummings spur before you go up or down, big boulders at 1/2 way that likes to take out roofs and rear panels.
I done Ellis last year just before closures and was quite chopped out I done three winches and broke a CV at the last part.
Have a great day and good luck

Thanks for the heads up Phil. Cummings sounds like a handful, Watched a video and they confirmed anything wider than a Suzuki received panel damage.

I have always wanted to tackle Ellis, it would be up there with the toughest tracks the old girl has tackled, being on smaller tires it would be a great challenge with perfect wheel location required.
sadly this weekend is out due to commitments

Curious. How did you guys go? we tried it a couple of weeks ago from the bottom and chickened out at the rock garden
