Young nudists say social nudity is about freedom and self-acceptance rather than sex.
YNOA members in NSW had taken the experience to heart but Mr Fleming said Victorian YNOA members were happily involved in naturist clubs south of the border. But he envied the nudist resorts in the United States that cater to young people with live music and bars.Īustralian Naturist Federation secretary Graham Fleming, who is a Helios Resort member, said he believed there had been a 'one-off clash' at a club on the Central Coast where YNOA members had partied late and annoyed older members. Matt said there were a few Australian resorts that welcomed young people – including Townsville Naturist Community, Greg and Deb's Place and Balkaz Retreat in Queensland and Helios Resort just outside Melbourne.
'The older people feel that we are being disruptive to their enjoyment, their peace and quiet, so as a result, they generally close the door to us.' 'Young people, we drink alcohol, we listen to music, we stay up later than 9pm,' Matt said.
