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.)

Balding Bay Magnetic Island, North Queensland Trip Report. 2007. Magnetic Island, North Queensland, Australia is home to two or three traditional clothing-optional beaches. Balding Bay is the most well-known, but nudists use the far west end of Horsehoe Bay and Rocky Bay Beach, an easy walk from Picnic Bay. I stopped at Rocky Bay on this trip one day and found the sand almost gone at high tide, and the sand is damp for most of the day when the tide goes out. A very strange lone male with a tall Mexican style hat was there. Female waitstaff at one of the hotels later told me his presence puts off girls going to Rocky Bay, so they go elsewhere. Like all beaches in Queensland, none is legally designated clothing-optional, unlike most other Australian states.(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.

Ellis Beach-Buchan's Point Trip Report. 2007. On my last trip to Australia in 2007-2008, I spent most of my time in Noosa Heads, but also journeyed north to tropical North Queensland, stopping in Townsville to access Magnetic Island, which has traditional nude beaches at Rocky Bay, Balding Bay, and other secluded strands. You can read about my Balding Bay trip report here on NetNude as well. Noosa Heads and its clothing-optional Alexandria Bay have their own report. I also have a trip report to Sydney nude beaches from 2005. (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

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. (2006)

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. That's as good as a US National Park campground with no facilities except for a pit toilet. (2006) Thanks Andy for the report.

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. (2006) Thanks John for the report.
