What’s happening?

The FBA has gained wonderful coverage from Triple J radio and Channel 7 for ‘Clean Up Australia Day’.

The reports were so positive giving the nudist lifestyle another good report.

Interviews were also broadcast from the Alexandria Bay Carnival again with a good positive image.

The consistency of these types of interviews only strengthens our lifestyle in the eyes of mainstream Australian families as a valid recreational choice.

Those Area Reps (contact VP Anita) who are willing and able are encouraged to build working media relationships to enhance the quality and numbers of Australians enjoying the nudist/naturist way of life…

Presidents Report…

Welcome to ANZAC Day FBA style, what a better way to remember this uniquely Australian tradition than a celebration beach style, naturally. There is something for every one in the program on the beach today including Two-up games.

The Alexandria Bay and Armonds Beach Carnivals were a great success by all accounts and a credit to the organisers. The New FBA flags and banners had their first outing at the Alexandria Bay Carnival and were very well received by all. All Regional Directors will have access to FBA flags and banners and the day is not too far away when every nudist beach will be a splash with the symbol of unity, safety and family fun.

On page 2 you will notice the FBA positioning statements and Free Beaches Australia Inc. Etiquette. Why now you say? The FBA is a national organisation and as such we need to adopt consistent standards across the country for our member’s safety, also to strengthen our bargaining position and duty of care responsibilities with authorities.

Please send in all your upcoming spring time and summer events and outings so they can be posted in the spring ‘Freebeacher’ and the FBA web site.

I encourage you to invite your friends to a nudist beach or club, our awesome lifestyle may just be what they have been looking for to socialise and de-stress.

Yours naturally,   Philip Millroy. (FBA President 2006)

The FBA encourages all nudists/naturists to support the positioning statements below as we promote our textile free lifestyle and continue to gain support from the wider community

Vision:      To create a united nudist culture, accepted within mainstream society by developing safe, clean, fun family nudist
                 beaches and recreational areas throughout the Commonwealth of Australia

Mission:    To become Australia’s Premier Nudist Lobby Organisation by encouraging healthy, fun participation of all members
                 through active regional area involvement.

Goals:       To develop Free Beaches Australia membership to 10,000 plus members by 2010

                 To lobby all levels of Government, the community and the nudist population for the declaration, maintenance and
                 appreciation of adequate nudist beaches and recreational areas

                 To consistently exceed the entire community’s expectations in the areas of public safety, FBA etiquette, excellence
                 and community involvement

Free Beaches Australia Inc. Etiquette:

The Naturist/Nudist community is a fantastic caring group of people from a diverse range of back grounds who are aware of the fragile balance and scrutiny their textile free family lifestyle attracts. This common sense approach to FBA etiquette has been developed to ensure the growth, the safety and to facilitate a balanced acceptance of the textile free family lifestyle within mainstream society.

  • Stay out of dunes and re-vegetation areas

  • Obey regulations - National Park, life-saving, fire, fishing and parking

  • Don’t wander from established nude areas – this may risk the areas closure

  • No overt sexual activity - Be nude not lewd – this just undermines our objectives

  • Don’t litter – carry out more than you brought in

  • Respect the property of others – ‘if your bum is bare cover the chair’

  • No unauthorized photography of others, especially children

  • Respect the privacy of others – allow others to have space – don’t stare

  • Come prepared & be sun smart– bring water, food, towels, sunscreens, etc.

  • Speak up for standards – carry copies of FBA Etiquette – report criminal activity to police
