1947 - HAWKESBURY HILL CLIMB. 1947 circa.Our content team is unsure weather the Hawkesbury Hill Climb event was held prior to 1948, it appears from reports that the organisers, the Australian Sporting Car Club only started running the meeting's in 1948. We are going to assume that event's prior to 1948 were being run by another group. possibly a local club.
