More mysterious balls have washed up across NSW just months after several Sydney beaches were shut down by toxic debris. Dozens of similar looking objects have been detected at six beaches near Dalmeny and Narooma on the NSW south coast in the last week.

NSW Environmental Protection Authority has confirmed it's aware of the latest objects that have washed up 350km from Sydney. 'The debris balls are currently being stored in a licensed waste facility on the South Coast and we are testing them as part of our waste classification process,' the spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday night.

'We are testing them … to determine how they should be disposed. 'We are conducting testing to determine what the debris balls found in Dalmeny and Mystery Bay are made of and until that testing is complete, we cannot confirm their contents.'. It comes after the EPA revealed last Friday that 20 balls were found at Pooles Beach near Narooma on December 11.

More balls were found along a 200m stretch of nearby 1080 Beach the same day. The concerning discovery comes after toxic black balls washed up on seven beaches in Sydney's east in October, including Bondi, Coogee and Maroubra. The latest debris balls to wash on NSW beaches are currently being tested.
The mysterious objects (pictured) were found at six beaches near Dalmeny and Narooma on the NSW south coast. Affected beaches were shut down as health and safety workers scoured the areas for the strange debris. Tests found the balls were likely made of medications, human faeces and chemicals but experts were unable to pinpoint the source of the pollution.
