Well, we discovered where the smell was coming from - raw sewage was bubbling up from an drain access point near the bottom of the garden - given the way it "bubbled" up suggested a blockage (I put the lid on, and weighted it down with 20Litres of liquid chlorine!)
So, off to the list of tradies, and our recently obtained plumber (who is actually a drain specialist).
Yes, it was blocked, and yes it is likely to block again - tree roots have penetrated the pipe. What isn't clear is if the blocking point is on our pipe or Sydney Water's part - that is going to take another visit and a camera.
Joy.
Off to the sales now.
