Some sections of it are much steeper, especially if you take the
inside line on the corners.

Cycle2Mx gives average gradient, havn't hopped off to measue, but yes
some corners are reminiscent of 12% and higher...

there is always the back way to Arthur's Seat, from the South or the
EastNE, good managable climbs (not just for the view)-especially when
you have a huge ride home and want to make sure you do it without
hopping a train from Frankston !

Or for a more hill climbing 'fun' go the back way to Arthurs Seat, then
continue along the (rather undulating) road to flinders. Once in
Flinders cut back across to the bay at Rosebud (several short but nasty
climbs along here!) and then return up the coast. You get bonus points
for going up Arthurs for the second time, by the front road.
