Public Comments

1. Certainly not
2. yes & no there are a lot of beaches in Australia(after all it is a island)if you look you will find one without a lot of looking with nobody there so you can do what you want try it in bondi(sydney)or gold-coast & you will be in a bit of trubble
3. Yes and No, alot of women go topless on the Gold Coast beaches - as long as you are not walking around completely nude they are ok with it. Same where I live in Cairns (North Queensland) - there is a huge lagoon on the esplande, even though it's a family area, women (mainly tourists) are topless. Sometimes you don't know what way to look. Am sure the teenage boys love it there ! For a Guide to Australia's Nude Beaches see http://www.freebeach.com.au/Beach%20List.htm
4. not on all beaches. there are specific beaches to swim and sunbake in the nude, but others it is prohibited because, not everyone wants their children or even themselves seeing randoms in the nude.
