> On our way back from Tower Junction today as we were about to cross Blenheim Rd from by Crafted Coffee, it smelled very strongly of a gas. My partner and I had to take shallow breaths. then as we got to the safety pedestrian barrier in the middle of the road, an even worse smell was there. This was like raw sewerage mixed with gas...but not from the poo ponds. This smell was coming from the metal man-hole cover in the ground. It was very hard to breathe here.
