Barangaroo Reserve, stairs
These stairs are located in the middle of Barangaroo Reserve, in the inner city suburb of Barangaroo. This was once the site of a concrete industrial container terminal which has been transformed into a foreshore park, with sandstone blocks used to build a naturalistic headland and terraces, landscaped with native trees and shrubs. The sandstone used at Barangaroo Reserve was extracted from beneath, in what is now The Cutaway, the reserve's large cultural space.
Imagine having to go up and down those stairs repeatedly.
