Its a rare sight to see zero people out at Manly close to summer but that massive downpour and crap surf did it. Also blocked drains, traffic, and filled up Queenscliff lagoon with toxic filth about to empty into Manly beach. Read for yourself here.
“Manly Lagoon is now 10% of its original size and is considered one of the most polluted recreational waterways on the east-coast of Australia. Swimming, boating and fishing are prohibited due to the poor water quality. Environmental investigations have identified numerous pollution sources including urban stormwater runoff, sewage overflows, tip site leachate, and illegal discharge and dumping of industrial and trade waste.”

I’d give it a day or 2 to clean up before putting my earholes in that water
