Nudity laws in Australia
Does any one know how the laws apply tobeing nudeat home & in our backyards.
My understanding is that I can benude in the backyardas long as I am not in sight of theneighbours (ie:there is sufficient fencing)- unless they have a two storey building & can see over, then I would have to be clothed.
and do the laws vary state to state??

the saying is your home is your castle
unless you flaunt your nudity to neighbours ie standing at window or door should be ok

summarising all the posts;
if you can't be seen there is no offence, very simple really.

I believe that the laws here in VIC state that you have to have a seven foot fence or sufficient coverage in your yard if you want to be nude in it. I don't think there are any for inside your house.
I have one hole in our treeline in the back that I have to fill up, and I need to get better blinds for our kitchen window then it will be all nude all the time!
just FYI those modern double roller blinds with the tight mesh are excellent for letting in light and keeping out peeping toms!

Hey, guys, it's about time to change the law. Yes we are multicultural and this does subject us to be restricted. Perhaps if all nudists of Australia stood together, to have a nudist party in government, and why not? There is a Shutters Party, there are religious party's. Why should there not be a naturist Party for expressing our freedom? We need to fight for our rights to be free and acceptable as we are. Perhaps all nudists of Australia need to invade on Capital hill in Canberra to put our point across in a peaceful demonstration. Unless we do so, we always will have to hide from the public eye. Any comments to this, would be greatly appreciated

Apologies for not listing Tasmania. I'm guessing despite your colder climate you have better nudity laws than the mainland states
