1. Yes you can go topless on Australian Beaches. Bondi has been topless for at least a generation. You'll literally fade into the background.
2. Legally no you can't but a blind eye is usually used. If you are flaunting yourself you will be told to cover up . If you are face down sunbathing no one will take any notice. We do have a few legal nudist beaches in Australia but these are usually out a bit where children dont often go. Take a look around the beach your at and see if others are topless. If they are they are often out of the way a little bit.
