Went there yesterday and it was disgusting!
It is a good spot though! Nice flat water.
Definitely going back there before the end of the holidays. Hopefully the smell will be better.

Yesterday was worse than any session I've ever had at Altona. It was a shocker. It smelt worst than Rozanne Barr's crack.

Article from The Australian that may assist. It must be a good spot.

Beach contaminated by faecal matter

SWIMMERS have been advised to stay out of the water at a Melbourne beach which has become contaminated with faecal matter. The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) warned against swimming at Altona Beach on Port Philip Bay in Melbourne's western suburbs after finding high levels of faeces in the water.

The EPA said it was investigating the source but could not determine yet whether it was human or animal faeces.

"There's a range of sources it could have come from," said EPA director Stuart McConnell.

"It could be a leak or spill of sewage, or could be from septic, it could be animal faeces."

Ingestion of the faecal matter could result in severe gastro illness.

Mr McConnell said the affected area was restricted to Altona Beach with other beaches in the bay having good water quality.

He expected Altona Beach would be back to normal "within a couple of days".

Hobsons bay council has re-zoned the pier end of Altona beach to a non-boating zone effective immediately, and have asked for all kiters to refrain from using the area.
However due to a number of protests from concerned members of the subaru and suv driving clubs they have decided to issue a boating permit for cherry lake, see www.onlymelbourne.com.au/cherry-lake-lions-club-market located on Millers Rd.
As a concession to the protests of the irate kiters who frequent the pier end, the council have agreed to install a coffee shop.. DOH! (how silly of me)...espresso bar, a tanning and leg waxing salon in the garden area of the lake reserve. The local scout group will also provide a free bike wash...no huffys allowed of course. This will provide a bonus to the hand-knitted goods, plants (including orchids and ferns), which are offered when the market is on.
What a lovely bunch of counciler - ors-whatever.
