Which Hillclimb?
I am putting together a video from old 8mm films of various Hillclimbs. Some of the footage includes Foleys Hill from 1947 - and there is one venue that I cannot identify. Could somebody please check out YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__iV7iicCrI and advise what Hillclimb it is?

A nostalgia forum question with those Australians!
Looks like Australia . Rob Roy or something. |

Not Rob Roy, I don't think. Possibly Collingrove although if it is all the trees have gone.

Well, I have no idea, but all of the cars are British, with the possible exception of one 'special'. Must tell us something, could it be in Scotland?

I thought the Aussy type number plates were a bit of a clue?

Yep, John, but you have to remember that Bob is even older than you! Pretty likely to be an Aussie event given all the clues. Looked like a Holden parked at the bottom of the hill.

It's not Collingrove South Australia as it's does not seem the same as when I last ran there in 1988. It was far more open without the trees as such.
It's neither Rob Roy or Templestowe either as I knew those climbs well and particularly loved Templestowe.......I did the last one ever FWIW if you care. Not Morwell or Canberra. I don't recognize the climb in the vid. but I would suggest it's in NSW as the cars have yellow NSW plates on them. Well that's my guess, and it's a great video.......I like it. Thanks for posting. |
