Donna Reardon was about to head home from a beach near Wollongong on Sunday when a “gross” object caught her eye.
Donna Reardon was emerging from a dip at Bombo Beach in Kiama, south of Wollongong, on Sunday when something out of the ordinary caught her eye.
Eager to determine what the strange item was, she shared a few photos of her discovery to the local community group on Facebook.“Hi everyone, just went for a swim down at Bombo Beach and found this. Anyone have any idea?” she wrote.It wasn’t long before the suggestions began flooding in, some far more realistic than others.
“Saw it yesterday – very strange. It was quite hard,” someone wrote, with another suggesting it was “maybe some sort of marine egg”. A few people seemed confident the item was some hardened “shark poo”, while another said it looked like the tooth of a “very large person”.Mrs Reardon received some legitimate explanations for what it was though and eventually the mystery was solved.After some investigation on the Australian Museum website, she identified a photo that looked exactly like what she had found.
