Sunnyside Beach, Melbourne
Hi everybody, just joined True Nudists, but lived as a nudist for nearly 30 years. Looking forward to making new like minded friends.
Thought I might tell you about my first visit for this summer to Melbourne's only nude beach, Sunnyside last week. I've been visiting occasionally for all of those 30 years, but I was shocked to get down there last Monday, and find that the council has implemented a parking fee for the adjacent car park. And $6.50 an hour or $19 all day. It's bad enough that we've got to drive 50km from the city to get there, but to charge a lot of money for parking, makes me feel like we are being taken advantage of. And to top it off, locals who reside in the shire don't have to pay.
There is an alternative, parking a little way away from the car park, and if you get there early, it's not too far to walk. But get there in the afternoon on a busy day, and you're in for a long, long walk, and all uphill on the way back. Guess we'll have to just "grin and bare it".
Have fun and stay nude, Michael
