We Victorians got ripped off... ours is 6.4km's long, no other state is even close at less than 4km's.
Bugger that my best time is 42nd place & still 1:50min behind the current 3rd placed rider & I'm 10+kg heavier these days. Pass!!!

come over and have a ride on Corkscrew Road 
the average gradient for that is a bit deceptive... the last half of that climb averages 11-12% 
my best time up Corkscrew road puts me in 564th place.. i'm sure i'm in for a chance on this one..

Re: Tour Down Under Strava Challenge
I have sent Strava a message asking for a local climb to be added. I dont like my chances.

5.2km at 8%. It is a bitch of a thing. There is a flat in the middle which doesn't help at all.
