Big Dipper


The steep hill on the F3 at Wahronga. I guess it is named after the roller coaster that used to be at Luna Park: Cars are backed up to foot of the big dipper southbound.

Contributor's comments: [Sydney informant] As children my sisters and I use to call a particular street in the lower north shore the 'big dipper' as it not only went down but up again on the other side (u-shaped).
