It's okay, you can rest assured that I have no such ambitions. :)

And Stui, you really are God. Or a fan of Italian cinema. Or, slightly more likely, just adept at Google image search. ;)

I don't self promote, I work on the theory that If I'm any good at anything I do, I won't need to tell people, people will tell me and others. Working so far. 8)

I'll be heading down to Point Cook for some nude swimming for sure. Or perhaps not:

I blame people like my girlfriend's cousin (they just bought a house amongst the ugly new developments in Point Cook). It's yuppy central now, so no surprise that this would be the first thing to go. :(

Australia's most accessible nudist beach, Obelisk Bay near Mosman has been blighted by expensive parking meters, $3.50 per hour in the council carpark, and $4 per hour in the national park section. Presumably the unclad would want to spend a couple of hours there at least...

As nobody much lives there, it would seem that this is yet again Sydney's favorite sport, keeping outsiders out. And don't think you can get the bus there, it doesn't run. Presumably it will eventually have the same effect as Reef Beach - nobody goes there. By the way it's not only the anti nudist brigade that pull this stunt. Traveling up the coast I found out that the entire Jervis Bay Territory, sort of part of the ACT, is blocked by a Toll road.

There's an accessible beach at point cook?

Wouldn't know, avoid it like the plague, too much fricken traffic, may as well live in bloody Brighton with the old yuppies!

Cheap compared to Bondi! Can't believe how much parking costs in Sydney!
