Ellys Track

Elly's Track near Barramunga delivers an adrenaline-pumping extreme 4WD challenge that'll test your vehicle's articulation and your nerves in equal measure. Despite its compact 2.2 km length, this trail packs serious technical difficulty into every metre, demanding expert vehicle handling and unwavering concentration throughout the 21-minute ordeal. You'll navigate boulder-strewn terrain with dramatic elevation changes that force your suspension to its limits, while tight sections demand precision steering and spotting assistance from a co-driver.

The landscape around Barramunga is rugged and unforgiving, with loose rock, deep ruts, and uneven ground creating constant obstacles that require constant momentum management and route selection. You should come prepared with a well-maintained 4WD equipped for extreme conditions—lockers, winch, and quality recovery gear are highly recommended. Spotters are essential, as visibility is limited through technical sections and recovery options are limited in this remote area.

Only 12 vehicles have successfully conquered Elly's Track, placing you in rare company if you complete it. This extreme-rated trail demands respect; bring experience, proper equipment, and a clear head. The short duration makes it manageable for dedicated extreme enthusiasts, but underestimating the terrain has resulted in damage for previous attempts.
