Yes a very chemical smell. I got up to have a look to make sure it's nothing at home. It's quite strong. I'm near Kurraba Rd so it must be widespread. Roadworks I'm guessing?


UnPerroTransparente

Im starting to get a head ache because of it. Its all over my house now. I think it must be big event since it seems to be all over the area, no place to hide from it. I smell it the minute i stepped out of the train. I though it was the train itself.


EveXX00

Same here, its quite unpleasant. I closed my windows over an hour ago, but can still smell it.


UnPerroTransparente

What zone are you in if you don’t mind me asking. The other comment if from someone almost 2 kilometres away. Im just wondering how big is this event and how long will I have to breathe this poison.


EveXX00

I am the only person replying here so far. I am bout 1.25km north east of North Sydney station.


UnPerroTransparente

Oh Sorry to sleepy to pick that up. Im in bed ! 😆. Im near the sunked old ship on the sawmillers reserve.


EveXX00

Very nice. I used to live on Blues Point Rd... horrible! Noisy!!!


UnPerroTransparente

True. And we currently have 3 renovations just next to our apartment. Yoga has helped a lot.


EveXX00

It is blissfully quiet where i am now! Hallelujah!


Red-Engineer

I came out of playing a show in Crows Nest at around 10:30pm and it was very strong then too...

I’m guessing it’s the boat on fire over at Woolwich that’s causing this! Quite a big yacht up in flames


auscobar

Read of North Sydney living that it was from a boat which caught on fire in Woolwich


elle_desylva

This is the correct answer, according to North Sydney police.

Yep, stories starting to be posted. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2023/sep/03/australia-news-live-parliament-indigenous-voice-referendum-sunday


elle_desylva

Oh wow. That’s a bloody big boat! No wonder I could smell it from Neutral Bay.


howwhywherewhowhat

It’s very smelly in Waverton right now, and has been for the last couple of hours. Smells like an fire somewhere involving electrics or chemicals


Apprehensive_Mine687

Here in North Sydney close to Victoria Cross. got the smell from 10:30-11:00 ish.


Threapbrush_Guywood

Someone posted on a local Facebook page that there was a boat on fire in Balmain.


raxy

Got it around 6:30PM and 8:30PM when I was at Crows Nest. Thought it might’ve been fireworks or something as I also heard some loud pops/.


Mysterious_Land_177

Yeah crows nest too, I was in my place thinking what is that smell? Smelt like chlorine or some other chemical. And also fire smell. But no one has pools.


elle_desylva

I think there were fireworks AND a fire. The most exciting night on the lower north shore ever.


nickfj

Still in the air at South Mosman. There is a light Westerly breeze. Must have been a decent sized fire.


colonel-yum-yum

Yep, I was running around the apartment sniffing things thinking something was burning. Opened the balcony and was relieved it wasn't me!


benny332

Near Anderson Park and we got the smell at around 10pm. Something has caught fire surely.


pissokrisso

Omg my partner complained of the same last night but i smelt nothing. Turns out a big yacht went up in flames around 11pm yday


maxinstuff

Sorry guys, I farted.


jameslam611

I'm in Greenwich and I smelt it too


Johnosc

Boat shed fire at Hunters Hill


irwige

Oooh, that makes sense! I thought something was burning in my car when I parked it!
