so they passed one another each on the wrong side of the road. And those bits of road up Galston Gorge and to West Head! Back in the 70s Kel Merz in his Nota Sportsman, fanging up the Galston Gorge road and on line across double yellow lines for the next hairpin was confronted by a downhilling Porsche offline but at pace. And the VSCCA hillclimb immediately after WW2 apparently ran North-South along the Wakehurst Parkway towards the Blinking Light ( which probably isnt there any more, either). So,275 GTB-4, I like Ray am unable to precisely locate Kurrajong Hillclimb but agree that it could well be somewhere along Bell's Line of Road where most of us locals have misbehaved from time to time. This bit of road actually turned out to be a very serious motor cycle racing circuit called Macarthur Park and has commemorative plaques and photos displayed in a little park among the houses. I dont know where many /most of those hillclimbs are/were, and in many cases they are now under suburbs and gone.although I only recently found the site of a 1970s ( ?) rally stage /" hillclimb" that I recall seeing on TV at the time, Colin Bond/ John Dawson Damer ( Ford Escort) waving wheels in the air across the soft curbs of a yet-to -be -built Canberra suburb.
