Nearby residents reported a disgusting smell emanating from the water, although some joked 'what 
a sh*thole' and 'yeah Bondi's beautiful alright', with one even saying tounge-in-cheek the smelly water was a 
'positive addition to the community'. A blockage in an apartment 
building on Campbell Parade that may have been caused by wet wipes and fats, 
oils and grease is believed to be behind the water leak 
onto the beach but it was understood to have not contained sewage.

not to swim at the southern end of nearby Bronte Beach after sewage was detected in the water, caused by an overflowing 
sewer. Sydney Water found the contamination at Bronte's Bogey Hole, a natural rock pool which forms a sheltered swimming area 
for young children. On the same day swimmers were ordered out of the water at the Murray Rose Pool 
at Double Bay's Redleaf Beach due to sewage contamination caused by a blocked toilet.
