O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: 998 stopnic je vklesanih v modri peščenec Modrega gorovja, ki se spuščajo 300 metrov v dolino spodaj. Stopnišče so zgradili delavci v času depresije v tridesetih letih 20. stoletja, z uporabo samo krampov in lopat.
Poudarki: Na sredini spusta sezonski slap tvori naravne bazene, kjer lahko občutite hladno vodo, ki teče med prsti, medtem ko odmeva med peščenimi stenami. Med pohodom naletite na stare ročno poslikane napise, ki označujejo točke, kjer so premogovniki iz 19. stoletja raziskovali pobočja.
Notranji nasveti
- Wear sneakers with good grip: the steps are uneven and can get slippery with moisture.
- Climb back via the Scenic Railway if you get too tired, but it costs AUD 39 per person.
- Start early (before 9 am) to find the staircase nearly empty with dramatic fog in the valley.
- Bring a flashlight or use your phone's: some deeper sections of the gorge are very dark even during the day.
