Red bin covers sinkhole, preventing potential accidents

A red wheelie bin was placed over a sinkhole in Mosman, Sydney, to prevent accidents. A resident acted quickly, covering the hazard before it could cause serious damage or injury. The council has since repaired the sinkhole. Sinkholes can form due to underground erosion, often worsened by heavy rain. While they are not common in Australia, they can appear suddenly and without warning, posing risks to roads and buildings. Recent sinkhole incidents have disrupted travel and caused evacuations in various locations. Local officials are monitoring the situation to ensure public safety.
