Alexandria Bay Beach, Noosa, Report., October 2007. The second half of October 2007 I returned to Australia for my 6Th trip. In 2005 I visited Sydney and the surrounding area and wrote a location report for NetNude on some beaches at that time. This time I visited the 'Sunshine State" of Queensland and the holiday town of Noosa, where I lived when I first stayed in Australia for a year in my twenties. Noosa is in southeast Queensland state, about a 3 hour drive north of state capital Brisbane. It is easily reached by multiple coach services from Brisbane such as Greyhound Australia and Premier Motor Service, many of which also stop at the airport after leaving the city Transit Centre. Flights serve Brisbane (BNE) from many parts of Australia, and international destinations as well. Noosa has lots of holiday rental homes and bed and breakfast operations there, plus a couple of backpacker hostels, which is my choice for budget accommodation when not camping. There is even a Sheraton off the main street in Noosa... (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Bare Tracks Adventurers Group was formed in 1997 by two couples who enjoyed the nudist lifesyle, as well as owning 4wd vehicles for which to get away to various nudist areas in. They thought that they would increase their 'circle of friends' and form a group who were interested in the same ideas for a nudist social lifestyle as themselves, and to share the fun times ahead. BARE TRACKS is a family orientated social nudist group, who are involved in a mixture of:- 4wd driving (if owned), Camping, Fishing, Swimming, Bar-b-ques, Tennis, Pentaque, Social Outings, Day Trips, Weekend Getaways.

The Holiday Village Resort in South Australia is a wonderful place to stay. The hosts are extremely friendly and will bend over backward to accommodate you. I was welcomed warmly as a single-male visitor. The beach is quite a hike, but a beautiful hike across sand dunes nonetheless. The facilities were clean and user friendly. Overall, the prices I paid make clothes free enjoyment much more economical than in the states. I paid ~$6/night US and ~$9/night US. That's as good as a US National Park campground with no facilities except for a pit toilet. Thanks Andy for the report.

Jajarawong Cottages in the Daylesford wine and natural springs region of Victoria is incredible. I saw and heard more wildlife here than any other place I visited in the Southern part of the continent. The hosts provide an outstanding booklet with information that betters any 5-star hotel. If you don't mind kangaroos hopping through your campground in the morning, this is the place to stay. Again, this is a very singles-friendly place to stay. Overall, the prices I paid make clothes free enjoyment much more economical than in the states. I paid ~$6/night US and ~$9/night US.

Maslin Beach. The first legal nudist beach in Australia. It is a most wonderful beach with stunning views of the magnificent cliffs surrounding the area. We have the famous Maslin Beach Olympics held on or close to Australia Day, this year it was held on the 26th January. I am told by a friend who lives in Mexico City that we were on the front page of their most popular newspaper. Each month there is a guest speaker held in the chat room, I plan to have a variety of guests that will talk about the positive aspects of nudity. Success stories as well as problematic ones. Nudity has always had a most wonderful gift of feeling totally free, but there will always remain a grey area if one does not talk about certain issues to help educate, understand, and be open-minded. January 2005 speaker was Bob Morton. Bob Morton who is an engineer by education and experience, but for the past several years he has turned his full attention to naturist activism in North America. As chairman and executive director of the Naturist Action Committee, he routinely deal's with lawmakers and policy makers on issues having to do with nudity as we advance and protect the rights of naturists. February 2005 was Tony Pitman from Free Bodies talking about his experiences (including arrests and trials) campaigning for the legalisation of public nudity in Australia and the UK. March 2005 - Judy Williams who has led topfree demonstrations in Vancouver and Judy is a special consultant to Canada's TERA group! Topfree Equal Rights Association or Action or Advocates group! We keep very active to inform people of what's going on around the world if you are a person interested in nudist issues. Visit the web site for additional information.

Queensland - Hervey Bay Report. Hi, I'm in my early 50's and from Queensland Australia. I too, love the freedom of going nude although having to keep it private when those whom I know would disapprove, are around so as not to offend. My favourite spot for being with nature, as nature made me, is near Hervey Bay, a couple of hours from where I live. A lovely, near deserted stretch of beach with a backdrop of unspoilt bushland. Cool refreshing swims when the tide's in (goes a long way out at low tide). Long walks in the very warm sun, listening to the breeze singing in the trees and feeling so good to be like you're in touch with both earth and heaven, away from the ratrace. One or two rather bronzed bodies - usually male), the only other sign of human presence a lot of the time, so you can really be yourself. It's worth the trip to get there, I reckon. One day, I plan to move to the Bay, to live and then the washing machine might be gathering cobwebs. Thanks John for the report.

River Island Report, New South Wales, Australia. Recently about 20 members of the Free Beach Association of New South Wales spent four days at River Island (November 3rd to 6th, 2000). This was the fourth year that most of these naturists have enjoyed this get-together, in the luxury cabins and the caravans (me) beside the Wollondilly River in this beautiful valley...

Sydney Nude Beaches Report. In March and April 2005 I took a two month holiday to Australia, my favorite country on earth! It was my fifth trip and a combination of business and pleasure. I got a great deal on QANTAS, normally an expensive carrier. I paid USD$659. for Honolulu-Sydney return, 60 day stay! Half of normal. Unlike my other visits, I did not have the option of leaving the Sydney area. Despite that handicap, I was able to re-visit nude beaches I had been to on earlier trips, and try a couple I had not been to before. The weather gave the extra bonus as April 2005 was one of the warmest on record in Sydney. I based myself in the southern beachside suburb of Coogee, mainly for its easy access to the airport and oceanfront setting. It has lots of young people as the University of New South Wales is only one km up the road... (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Join a New(d) Zealand Tour. 2001. 100% pure is the claim of the advertising and with the exception of the major towns and cities which have some pollution from traffic, so it is. With a population of 3.5 million (1.5 million in Greater Auckland alone) spread over the two main islands, both of which are some 600 miles from one end to the other it is easy to see how pollution free it all is. The sheep and cattle remain in the fields all year round living on the lush grass, electricity is generated from either hydro-electric or thermal sources, abundant water comes from the mountains. Yes there is a large amount of rainfall but this tends to come in short heavy bursts, rather than continuous light rain. The North East of the North island is sub-tropical and dense rain forest is found in many areas, yet the Canterbury Plains can be very dry in summer...

KatiKati Naturist Park - New Zealand. 2005. As part of a tour if the North Island in 2005 I stayed for a few days at the KatiKati Naturist Park and can thoroughly recommend it. Run by naturists, it is a quiet haven, well supported by excellent facilities. There are options of camping, caravanning, staying in a cabin or a chalet. Being aged 68, and disposed towards comfort, I opted for a chalet. When I visited there were two chalets available with another in an advanced stage of construction. Rather that try to describe the site I suggest that their web site is visited, which tells all about the park. Katikati Naturist Park I shall be visiting again this coming November. Thanks Brian for the report!
