Night run @ Ellis Track - One of toughest tracks in Vic HARD

Wesburn, VIC

See more trips

Ellis Track, it's considered one of the toughest tracks in Victoria. Now, I was invited by Jamie from Peninsula 4x4 Club to run a trip at night to Ellis Track at Wesburn.  

Well, I really can't reject such opportunity. So I would like to invite you if you are interested in joining our trip. Since Ellis track is a HARD track even in dry. I would expect you are very experienced in 4wding with a very well setup 4wd with WINCH (Minimum 35" tyres). If you have smaller tyres, please expect you will have panel damage. If your driving style is like drive it like you steal it, you will expect to have damage. The best approach is to slow and steady and walk ...yes walk the way up the track....

I have never been to Ellis but my navi, Jamie, is a very experienced 4wder. He will help us get out of any trouble. 

If you are up for the challenge, join the trip. 

 

This trip is "Not for the faint hearted"

 

The meeting point would be at the interaction of Tarrango Rd and Ellis Trk (basically the starting point of Ellis Trk)
