G'day Tony. Glad you like the sunrise. I'm not sure if they still do hillclimbs through King Edward Park. They may during the Mattara Festival The lower part of the road past Sth Newcastle Beach is now closed permanently due to a large rock having fallen there abouit 20 years ago and becasue there's been one rock fall in about 200 odd years the road is now "unsafe" according to council so they've taken the easy road and closed it altogether. However people can still walk and ride their push bikes through that section of road. What happens if another 200 tonne rock falls on someone walking through there. Incidentally, the first rock fall didn't hit anyone. Have to admit I've done a few unauthoorized hill climbs through there in my younger days in my green Hillman Gazelle which was my first car.
Regards,
RHB.
