Description:
Pyrmont residents claim that pollution from Pyrmont Power Station is making their lives unbearable. The majority of Pyrmont's streets, houses, cars and washing are covered with a thick layer of ash. Washing is dirty again before it has a chance to dry says Mrs. Patricia Annen of 48 Harris Street. Many residents hose the ash from their backyards each day.
