South Coogee Stairs

interval sprints up here with the Spanola clan renders us into a hypnagogic state of exhaustion and transcendental insight - after this workout. seeing phosphenes folding upon themselves is a common phenomenon often caused by intense physical fatigue, muscle relaxation and a rapid shift in brain activity without the use of psychedelics. while laying across the pavement at the top of the stairs AKA death stairs - our state involves vivid sensory experiences like seeing geometric patterns from phosphenes and hearing sounds, feeling sensations of floating or falling or like our flesh is burning. it is a must do if passing by. we would give it 6 stars if we could

Beautiful spot, open spaces, no crowds and excellent way ways.

These stairs shall be the end of me. Already fate has begun to watch me. From the periphery of my vision I see him. Standing cloaked in black fog above the roar of Poseidon’s wrath. My legs, the traitors that they are, begin their surrender. Perhaps I can outrun him, escape his gnarled and craggy grip. Or perhaps I am a dead man walking. The echoes of each step I take towards the summit of this eternal climb lost to all but the stones beneath my feet.

Lovely spot. I've been twice now. The first time it was absolutely packed with everyone trying to take photos for IG or whatever. Last time I went it was fairly quiet so maybe the hype has died down. Nice flat blue water. Great spot

If you like running or just walking stairs, this is the place. I still remember my first time I was introduced to these stairs in 1977, I was only 13yrs old. Looking up from the bottom you think you see the top, only to begin your climb & quickly realise you're barley half way lol lol lol. Over the years I keep coming back, for just the sheer enjoyment of the view as well the exercise.
