Yes it is amazing, and I can’t believe it has taken this long to fix it. Then again we in the US still have a football team named The Redskins which many Native-Americans find offensive. So I guess eventually these things change which is good.

Comment on A Month of Hedonism Announced at Queensland Resort by Tony Bowe

It is important to note that the resort in question is NOT affiliated with the Australian Nudist Federation (ANF) and the resort’s plans are not consistent with the ANF Code of Behaviour which can be viewed on the ANF site at http://www.aus-nude.org.au (under ANF Services and Support).

For years the movement has endeavoured to distance itself from the idea that nudity is about sex and debauchery. The majority of Aussie nudists have fun, yes, we have sex, yes, but always in appropriate circumstances - not openly in front of others.

World wide the nudist movement has a concept and philosophy that reflects appropriate standards of behaviour, family orientation and a healthy, wholesome experience for what is a truly an eco friendly lifestyle.

This resort might gain a different clientele to the one they have been used to but genuine nudists who deplore the direction being taken by the resort will cease to go there. Contact the ANF who can advise on safe and friendly nudist accommodation for those wanting to enjoy the experience of a true nudist holiday in Cairns and around Australia.
