Stradbroke Avenue, Heidelberg. bloody steep.
Gaffney St on Pascoe Vale is scary as there is a rail crossing at the bottom, which freaks people out a bit. Especially when the lights come on and you’re half way down the hill!
Ryans Rd in Eltham.
Christine Ave, Eltham. Steeper than Arthur St, just shorter.
Arthur Street in Eltham. Absolutely no question.
There are a couple of steep roads up in the hills. I got stuck on Roma Pde Upwey once, the car did not have enough power to get up the slope!! Seriously have a look on google maps at the angle of the power poles,
