It’s a Tuesday morning, the infinite blue sky of Byron Bay has opened up and the six naturists – four men, two women – have stripped down to their birthday suits for a quick dip in the buff.
This section of beach – an 800-metre stretch along the vast coastline – forms the only legal clothing-optional beach in the shire. Among those taking advantage of the opportunity to be out in the open is Duncan James, vice-president of Northern Rivers Naturists, who is something of an evangelist for “embracing the beach as Mother Nature intended.”
“Many of the beach users have described the clothing-optional beach as their happy place, a place where they can disconnect from modern day stresses, a place they can feel at one with nature,” he says.
There is, however, a metaphorical cloud on the horizon. On Sunday, Tyagarah is set to be stripped of its status as an official clothing-optional beach.
“I guess these values aren’t shared by New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service [NPWS], who are hell-bent on closing one of Byron’s last alternative community hubs and experiences,” James says.
Never lied. Also, you don’t seem like a very pleasant person. Lighten up.
Nah you lied the alternative was that you were giving your opinion on a subject you didn’t know about.
Didn’t lie. Just pointed out that many Americans are prudes. The truth is not a lie.
Second lie.
Trump, that you? Calling the truth a lie because it doesn’t fit your agenda doesn’t make it a lie.
Now now you can come up with a better personal attack than that, especially since you got lying working so well.
You knew that there were nude beaches in the US, you lied about it, then you lied about what you said. All your pathetic attempts at insults won’t make you a non-liar.
But go on and continue
