This part of the Coast Track crosses over the Waterrun, in order to do so without getting your feet wet a series of steps was built down, across, and up the other side of the run. It's a unique feature along this stretch of the trail.

From Bundeena, along the Royal Coast Track. A beautifully landscaped staircase connects two hills. Fantastic views.
