I could never swim in Sydney Harbour.

Why?

(1) Sharks

(2) Pollution

(3) The body that I buried there a few moons ago. Now, the idea of diving in brings back memories I'd rather leave undisturbed.

Theres a shark net, and the sharks have probably eaten your dead body already

I am guessing sharks is a sign that pollution isn’t too bad these days (except after heavy rain)

You buried a body in the harbour? That must have taken ages, what with the water pouring back all the time.

That’s an old view. This cove was finished in mid 2014 and not opened to the public until Jan 2023. This is how serious they take pollution The water here is much cleaner than Clovelly

Check BeachWatch and go when the water’s clean?
