These are so steep, I always feel a little vertigo when I'm standing at the top. I love them!

I have heard that these escalators were originally installed at Milsons Point after the station was built, but before the bridge was finished. They took people from the station down the steep hill to the ferry on Lavender. I believe they are the first public escalators in Sydney.

cam_railbuff Indeed they are - I used them only last weekend! Apparently they were originally installed at Milsons Point. www.heritage.nsw.gov.au/07_subnav_04_2.cfm?itemid=4803268
