Are there any Australian's around who can offer any suggestions or reports?
Yes, me.
Victoria.I currently live in Victoria so this is up-to-date information.
Sunnyside North beach.Sunnyside North is located in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne and on the shore of Port Phillip Bay. As such it is a calm water beach, as opposed to a surf beach. It is a sandy beach with a fair smattering of rocks. Access to the beach is a 750m walk along the shore or inland tracks at high tide from Sunnyside Beach, which is a textile beach. Access would be difficult for the elderly or disabled.
Sunnyside North is the end of the trail; there is no through traffic. Anyone who goes there knows what is there and is there to get nude or to check out the nudists. The crowd can get rather large particularly on hot sunny days during the holidays but I have never seen it so crowded that you cannot find a decent spot to lay out your towel. The gays congregate at the far north end of the beach behind a rocky outcrop but the other half of the beach is pretty much 50/50 male and female, with at least 90% of beachgoers being naked , at least in the past two or three years.
Possibly because there is no passing traffic and its comparative difficulty to get to, this beach has a reputation for lewd behavior. It is not uncommon to see handjobs and blowjobs occuring on the neighboring blankets and fucking is not unheard of. There are very limited opportunities for CFNM here.
Point Impossible BeachPoint Impossible is a surf beach near Torquay, South of Melbourne. The clothing optional area is 1 km of flat sandy beach with only one small rocky area. The beach can be accessed from either end and also from a short path to a car park half way along the beach, which is how most people get there.
Access from both ends of the beach leads to a fair bit of passing traffic such as dog-walkers resulting in a lot of CFNM opportunities.Apart from the walkers, the majority of the beachgoers are getting naked nowadays, again.
There are often big crowds there when the weather is nice but the wind can be strong at times and you can be almost sand-blasted off of the beach.
Some days the gender split is 50/50 and others it is predominately older males. It tends to be better on weekends and holidays.
Southside BeachSouthside is fairly close to Point Impossible, maybe 10 km by road. It is much harder to access with the car park being on a high cliff and a long walk in. Most people only go here when the wind is too strong at Point Impossible, because it is more sheltered there. On those days the dog walkers go there too. For some reason dogs are only allowed on a few beaches and the list includes the two local nude beaches. This does have its advantages.
That's about it for legal clothing optional beaches in Victoria. I am out of time tonight. I will do South Australia, Northern Territory and Austrailain Capital Territory another time.
