Wow! Definitely for thrill seekers using 1920s brakes down those hills...For the sake of Datchoo in Ireland, here is an old view from Bald Hill looking south. Those early Citroens descended to the dirt road to Wollongong visible near the beach. Bulli Pass ascends the escarpment in the background. Bald Hill is nearly 1000 feet up. Bulli Pass only a little less.

Here is the article that this photo came from. The Caddy is being driven by Mr Barnes, managing director of Brisbane Electrical Co, the Queensland Citroen agent.But, I also found I have this scanned newspaper photo from the same time showing a Caddy outside the Brisbane Citroen agency It looks right hand drive I think, but again not totally clear. I’ll look for the story that goes with this tomorrow.
