Those of you who have been following my naked adventures since 2016. Might remember the photos I took at Whitten Oval. The ones holding the flag. On the morning of the 2016, AFL Grand Final. It was my way of wishing the Western Bulldogs, good luck for the game.

As the Bulldogs have made it to the Grand Final again. I decided since they won in 2016. I'd better start a tradition and get my butt back down to Whitten Oval. To wish them good luck again in today's AFL Grand Final!

Throwback Thursday! As summer is slowly fading into the distance. I thought I'd throwback to a photo from one of the Beach Days. At Point Addis nudist beach near Anglesea, Victoria.

Regulations:

No dogs

No fires

No camping

No firearms

and a no motorbikes symbol.

It didnt say No butts and there wasn't a symbol for No bums! 😝

As winter is fast approaching. It's important to take advantage of any warmish weather we get here in Victoria. So we made the most of what could be out last opportunity to spend the day naked at Point Addis Nudist beach.

I even got in two skinnydips. 😃

Feeling the freedom of a day at the beach

[thenakedhiker]

We had another Melbourne Mixed Naturist Beach Day yesterday. It started out as a typical Melbourne day. Where on the drive to the beach, you started to think you should have packed a hoodie.

Then when you start walking along the beach, it's drizzling rain on you. However you are here now 40 others determined to make the most of the day.

Then 30 minutes later the clouds part, the sun comes out and everyone scrambles to put on sunscreen.

We got blessed with nice weather, for a walk along the beach, swimming and hanging out socialising in the sun for the afternoon.

Summers short, so make the most of it.

Now this would have been a better lyric change to the Australian National Anthem!

"Australians all let us rejoice for, For we are nude and free"

Wishing you all a Happy Australia Day 🦘 🐨 🇦🇺 from the Murry River in Victoria.

As restrictions are finally easing and now we are allowed to travel more than 25km from home.

Yesterday I took advantage of these new found freedoms. To get out of Melbourne and go on the first naturist hike & skinny dip for summer.

I'd forgotten how amazing the smell of eucalyptus is in the bush. We hiked along the Yarra River in the Warrandyte State Park. Until we found a spot to swim and have lunch.

Another first experience for 2020. Being naked outdoors wearing your mask, while applying more hand sanitizer than sunscreen. 😷

Throw Back Thursday to my 'Happy Place'. Nudies Village at Confest.

A whole week of living the "The Naked Revolution" in nature.

BIG shout out 🙌 to Gregory Becker for using his artistic talents. To produce this wonderful shadow painting of me. It's based on the photo of me hanging my washing out on the line.

Check out his Instagram @gregorybeckershadows to see more of his nude life shadow paintings.

Celebrating the first day of Spring. By posting these photos taken at a friends lake. Which is filled with a variety of different coloured waterlillies. They cover about 80% of the water surface.

These photos just don't it justice. Lets just say Monet wouldn't be able to get his paints out quick enough, he'd be so excited. 🤣😂🤣

[thenakedhiker]

As Spring is fast approaching and Melbourne still has a couple of weeks left in lockdown. I'll just have to make the best of the situation and adapt.

Since I can't go to the beach on this sunny day. I decided I'd make doing the washing, a little more fun. While soaking up some sun and vitamin D at the same time.

Stay home, stay safe. Then we will get through Stage 4 restrictions. In time to enjoy Spring and Summer.
