1931 - THE BARDON MOTORCYCLE HILL CLIMB.
Bardon is about 7km west of Fortitude Valley in Brisbane, It appears that from about 1931 through to 1950, with a break for world war two, regular motorcycle hill climbs were held on a short but steep hill that was claimed to be 45 degrees.
Thousands would come to see riders attempt the "freak" hill many ending in spectacular crashes.
