Ellis Track

If you're seeking the ultimate test of your 4WD's capabilities and your own nerve, Ellis Track near Three Bridges will deliver in spades. This extreme 2.3 km beast demands respect, skill, and unwavering commitment—with an eye-watering 58% grade that'll have your vehicle working harder than ever before. Only 35 vehicles have successfully conquered it, and you'll understand why the moment you encounter the first bone-jarring ascent.

You'll need more than just a capable rig to tackle Ellis Track; a winch is essential equipment, not optional. The relentless steep grades mean constant exposure to rollover risk and the very real possibility of getting bogged. Every metre requires precision driving as you navigate through rocky terrain that tests your suspension, tyres, and throttle control. The narrow, rutted sections demand your full concentration, while the unforgiving angles mean any mistake could be costly.

Expect the journey to consume around 12 hours—not because of the distance, but because of the technical difficulty and frequent recovery situations you'll likely encounter. You'll tackle multiple steep pitches, sharp obstacles, and terrain that shifts between loose rock and compacted earth. The satisfaction of reaching the finish line makes it unforgettable, but only attempt Ellis Track if you're genuinely experienced in extreme 4WDing and have proper recovery equipment and spotters. This is where legends are made—and where overconfidence gets vehicles damaged.
