Summary
After discovering the closure of a traditional nude swimming area in Tyagarah Nature Reserve, the author reflects on the increasing prudishness in Australia compared to the more accepting attitude towards public nudity in Europe. The author questions why Australia is moving towards outlawing public nudity while European cities successfully navigate the challenges and allow people to lead their own lives.
