I had exactly the same problem in Ashfield, NSW (Sydney suburb) as a schoolboy.
The school was nearby but an alternative route generally avoided the problem.
No idea how they dealt with that
— we moved to the Hunter Valley not long after which put sufficient distance between us and the smell. :-)

Close to the Parramatta River, perhaps ?
Back in the 70's that river could get pretty ripe.
I think they've significantly improved it now, by simply reducing the amount of pollutants that enter it.
Are you still in the Hunter ?
Cheers, Rob

This would have been mid-60s.
I was very young; I don't recall much about the surrounding area; I do remember the horrible cheese smell.
I'm no longer in NSW; I've been in Melbourne for the past 40+ years.
