Several mysterious balls washed ashore at a beach in Sydney following a similar discovery on another beach in the east weeks ago. The balls were seen on the eastern end of Silver Beach at Kurnell on Tuesday. A person walking on the beach saw them and alerted the NSW Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Authorities are working to alert the people about the new contamination. Sutherland Shire Council has set up warning signs at the section advising people to stay vigilant.

Work is on to clean the area, while no such balls were found on other beaches following.

In October, black balls washed up on the beaches of Sydney. Officials say the amount of balls and debris found in the latest incident is much smaller than the previous contamination.

Some of the balls found are round and the size of a gold ball. The bigger ones have a more irregular shape. They vary in colour, as some of them are white, while others are either pale, green, grey or black.
