The Promised Land hole near Bellingen records contamination of water. The , near on the NSW Mid North Coast, was so well loved recently that the local council advised swimmers to stay out of the that ran through it. There are no public toilets, no rubbish bins, and minimal parking. But that hasn't stopped thousands of people from visiting the scenic swimming spot. There is an increase in litter in the region and damage to some areas where people had parked inappropriately.

Attention Aucklanders: you're soaking in it now. There's faecal contamination of multiple beaches. The West Coast beaches are fine. Stay careful out there.
