On 21 November 1976, a visionary, plucky and bold band of nudists made history: nude bathing downstream of the Kambah Pool rock pools became legal. Fifty years on, come and celebrate with us on Saturday 21 November 2026, from about 11am at First Beach. This is a community-driven event, so there is no RSVP and no caterer. There will be a few speeches and a cake (thanks to the Australian Naturist Federation), but otherwise bring your own food, drinks, musical instruments, body paint, games and festival spirit to share and create an atmosphere of celebration. Join the diverse community that has come to love this stretch of the river in marking 50 years of this very special place.

If you already practice naturism in a social setting such as a nudist club even you would already be very aware of what this post is about.

El jugador australiano de rugby Jai Arrow tuvo que retirarse tras ser diagnosticado con una enfermedad de la neurona motora, cuando estaba a solo dos partidos de alcanzar los 100 encuentros con su club, los South Sydney Rabbitohs. Su equipo consiguió una autorización especial para que pudiera ser titular en los dos últimos partidos de la temporada regular y fuera sustituido apenas unos segundos después de comenzar. Incluso los equipos rivales apoyaron la iniciativa. Y este fue el momento en el que alcanzó los 100 partidos. Después de tantos años compartiendo vestuario con tus compañeros, salir al campo junto a ellos puede parecer algo normal. Solo podemos imaginar lo que significó para Jai volver a ponerse esa camiseta y pisar el césped una vez más junto a los suyos.

yep...

🌎 KAN INTERNATIONAL | AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 This week in nudism around the world. Going Bare Down Under: Nudism in Australia When most of us picture Australia, we think of incredible beaches, sunshine, the Outback and a culture that seems made for spending time outdoors. So perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that Australia also has a nudist and naturist culture with roots stretching back more than a century. Australia's first known nudist clubs date to the 1920s, although nudism had to remain largely underground during those early years. After World War II, the culture expanded, with new clubs forming around the country. The Australian Nudist Federation was eventually established in 1968 to bring the growing community together nationally. Today it is known as the Australian Naturist Federation (ANF), and their current message is refreshingly simple: “Normalising Nudity.” That's something we at Kick Ass Nudists (KAN) can certainly understand. Australian naturism isn't simply about taking your clothes off. The ANF describes a culture built around values including fun, safety, diversity, inclusivity, body positivity and self-confidence. For some Australians, naturism means visiting a club or resort. For others, it's spending the day at a clothing-optional beach, enjoying social activities or simply being nude at home. Australia Has a Serious Nude-Beach Culture With thousands of miles of coastline, beaches are naturally an important part of Australian naturism. Australia has about two dozen officially recognized legal nude beaches, spread across every state and territory except Queensland. There are also unofficial clothing-optional beaches around the country. One of the most historically significant is Maslin Beach in South Australia. In February 1975, Maslin Beach became Australia's first officially designated legal nude/clothing optional beach. Naturist etiquette looks remarkably similar to what we promote here in the United States: respect people's privacy, don't stare, ask permission before taking photographs, sit on a towel, respect the environment and keep sexual behavior out of naturist spaces. In other words, different continent, very familiar rules. More Than Beaches Australian naturism also includes clubs, resorts, retreats, social groups and organized activities across the country. Current naturist calendars include everything from swims and social gatherings to something you might not immediately associate with nudism: nude ten-pin bowling. That is one of the things we find fascinating about nudism around the world. Take away the clothing and people are still people. They swim. They socialize. They eat together. They play sports. They travel. They make friends. They laugh. They're simply doing some of it naked. Australia Is Facing Challenges, Too Australian naturism isn't without challenges. Maintaining legal clothing-optional beaches, attracting younger generations and helping the public understand the difference between nudism and sexual activity remain important issues. The ANF says it is actively working with communities and governments to protect clothing-optional beaches and advocate for additional legal locations. The Australian Naturist Federation reports substantial growth in recent years, while continuing its efforts to protect existing clothing-optional beaches and advocate for greater access. Perhaps that's the bigger lesson from Australia. Whether you're standing on a beach in Florida or South Australia, nudists often find themselves trying to explain the same thing: The naked human body doesn't automatically have to be sexual. For many people, nudism is simply about freedom, nature, body acceptance, community and becoming more comfortable with the person looking back at you in the mirror. Same human body. Same freedom to simply be. Different accents. Different beaches. Different countries. All Kick Ass Nudists. 🇺🇸 🤝 🇦🇺 Nude On, Australia!

How did Australia pull off the nastiest low block against turkey despite having giants all over the pitch?😭 Manchester United should go all out for Patrick Beach, he’d be a solid back up GK for Lammens 💪 teapaw.org/FondreMediah/status/20…
