Name:
Spanish Steps
Description:
Refers to the succession of sandstone benches on Fire Trail No. 5, which joins the Blackfellows Hand Trail to Sunnyside Ridge Road. The Wolgan River is crossed at the lowest point on the trail. The Spanish Steps are located on the northern side about 100m after crossing the Wolgan River. Named after the Spanish Steps of Piazza di Spagna in Rome, Italy. It is a descriptive name of the sandstone rock layered step formation. State Forests with the assistance of 4WD clubs closed vehicle access to the Spanish Steps in June 2003, but the barrier has since been vandalised.
