Stairs at old Quarantine Station, Sydney.  by johnfalconer

Stairs at old Quarantine Station, Sydney.

There used to be a funicular railway where these stairs are.
I caught the free shuttle bus!!
Fantastic detail

Great pov - one of those where you are not quite sure if you are lookin up or down the stairs - clever!

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I guess one reason this looks the way it does is that the step risers are smaller than normal. Probably about two thirds the height.

Fantastic stairs. They seem to move in the image!

Superb capture of the steps. The contrast between light and shade/shadow really stand out.

Thanks for commenting. Next time I go I will walk down from the front gate to the bottom and only catch the bus back up!!

@kjarn
Thanks Kathy. Might I suggest that you walk down from the front gate (bus stop and car park) to the bottom and catch the courtesy bus back up. There is a lot to photograph between the top and bottom which I missed.
February 8th, 2024  
Thanks John. We are hoping to do the Manly/North Head loop and the quarantine station along the way. I think I’ll need a courtesy bus after all that walking
February 8th, 2024  
Nice POV
February 8th, 2024  
A nice shot of this impressive climb, but I can't help but think it's a great location for a funicular as well!

👌❤️⭐️
February 8th, 2024  
Cool perspective , you were lucky that nobody appears on that long stairs… or very patient to wait the good moment !
February 8th, 2024  
I would have caught the bus too. The thought of climbing those stairs at the moment is beyond me.
February 8th, 2024  
Nice capture.
