We decided to head out for another trip up <a href="http://www.wandin.net/dotclear/index.php?post/2009/01/19/4WD-Ellis-Track">Ellis Track</a> near Gladysdale.</p>
<p>Of course we stupidly forgot to check the BoM radar before leaving home.</p> <p>11.04hrs
It didn't take long for an Ellis Track virgin to succumb... a Nissan no less!
11.23hrs
Using the winch on Cam's SWB 40 Series Cruiser, we quickly got the Nissan back on it's wheels.

<p>Nice and close to home - have to go try it out. So out we went on Saturday 27th with my 80 Series Landcruiser, my old man in his 40 Series Landcruiser and my girlfriend's parents in their Pootrol.</p> <p>Well the track was quite dissappointing until about 2/3 of the way up when we hit some excellent boulders / holes:
Just around the corner above that, driver error let the rear wheel of the 40 Series slip into a rut and a bit of an angle:
We continued on and found another bouldery and holed section of the track.
