Beaches still shut down as authorities work to remove sticky 'tar' debris.

Today, the popular beaches of Coogee and Gordons Bay in Sydney remain closed due to a strange occurrence that has left residents and beachgoers perplexed. Thousands of small, black balls have washed ashore, causing concern and prompting immediate action from the local council.

After conducting tests, the Randwick City Council has determined that the unusual debris is actually tar balls. These small globs of petroleum have been weathered and formed after floating in the ocean for some time. The origin of these tar balls is still a mystery, but the council is working closely with authorities to find out more.

Randwick Mayor Dylan Parker reassured the community that council workers are diligently working to remove the tar balls from the beaches as quickly as possible. He also expressed the council's top priority of keeping people safe and protecting the coastal and marine environment.

On Tuesday, Coogee Beach was closed and clean-up efforts began. The next day, Gordons Bay was also closed as more tar balls were discovered along the shore and in the water. Lifeguards reported finding the small black spheres scattered along the length of the beach.

Parker acknowledged the frustration and disappointment of those hoping to enjoy a day at the beach, saying, "We're currently investigating exactly what the source of this mysterious beach pollution is." The council has collected samples for further analysis to determine the materials and origin of the tar balls.

One would-be beachgoer expressed their disappointment, stating, "We thought we'd have a swim, walk along the beach, and lo and behold, we can't even get on the sand." This sentiment is shared by many who are eager to return to the beautiful beaches of Coogee and Gordons Bay.

As the clean-up continues and investigations into the source of the tar balls progress, the community is reminded of the importance of preserving the natural environment. The council and authorities are working diligently to ensure the safety of all and protect the beloved beaches that are a vital part of the local community.
