Australia is more conservative or shall we say complex about the human body and certainly when it comes to Naturism and Naturists as is evident by the fact that The Australian Naturist is about to disappear from the Newsagent.

Thanks for this. I have always been surprised by the restrictions and limits placed on public nudity in Australia by officials. From across the ditch, here in New Zealand, we often read articles about reactions to nudity in Australia with some disbelief. For a country with as much open space, good weather and skimpy swimwear, I would have imagined Australians to be more comfortable with nudity.

We were once known for the catchphrase "Where the bloody hell are you?" This was meant to attract people from more Naturist Friendly Countries? I wonder how many of them came back?

Certainly you would not know that we do have as much open space as we do or that we were once asking everyone including those from more Progessive countries "Where the bloody hell are you?"
