there's a good chance it came down the river with the storms last week...
could even be, as you say, pig manure... ;-)

Last night, the one time I use the path and it smells like that! 🙂
Makes all those diesel particles seem like a good option 😉

Bat poo?

Could be Melb Water’s sewage overflow from Merri creek (that goes into the Yarra).
Problem with some commercial & residential properties – predominantly in the North of the city – have illegally run their stormwater into the sewer. The sewer is not designed to take storm water & what stormwater currently does illegally get into the sewer can cause a breech in the system in heavy downpours that overflows into Merri Creek ( and then the Yarra).
There’s no fix for it as it has to go somewhere.

Just something I heard, not sure if it’s 100%.

Maybe, Craigster. There was a huge number there a couple of mornings ago. The gums in Bellbird park and the golf course on the other side were black with them. I've never seen so many in the one place.

Which bit of yarra boulevard? Or is all of it stinky?

Should see them swam out into the suburbs just on dark... millions of
the little buggers. More friendly and less noise than the glah(?)
things from back home...

I rode to the city via Burwood Rd to go to the MBTC meeting, and there
was a putrid smell between the Burwood rd/Bridge rd "intersection"
(east of the river), and a km or so towards Swinburne. I was thinking
bats - I don't recall any smell over the river.

The stink was only between the Swan st bridge + Burwood rd/Bridge rd for couple of kms,near Scotch college?
Someone mentioned the rotting dead eels but reckoned they should have been washed away by now.
