Nudist/Naturist Resort Down Under

[Ozmale]

If any of you good folk are in Sydney and have some time to kill, I stumbled across this place about 2 hours drive south of Sydney, hidden up in the hills.

www.riverisland.com.au/

I didn't have the time to stay overnight but did spend an afternoon there.

Their web site isn't the best but the photos give some idea. Its a campground with self contained cabins and some extras rather than a luxury resort but its in a fantastic setting. Its quite a long drive in from the highway (about half of the road in is dirt) and then a 3 or 4 km (2 ish miles) drop down a passable but roughish road into the river valley (and its a long way down). Secluded and very scenic.

Its nudist (CO) not H2 style (!) and not licensed so BYO alcohol. The locals seemed quite friendly (although not many people there when I visited) and there are many scenic walks/hikes, river beaches and river swimming in addition to a couple of pools, spas (Jacuzzis to you folk) and a sauna. They also offer nude 4 wheel drive tag along tours (although being nude near a winch cable doing vehicle recovery could be a bit worrying)!

Hope to get back there someday and spend some time, who knows maybe some of you good people might get to enjoy before me!

Sounds good Oz and that's the first I heard of naked 4 wheel drive tours. That's different.

Gary!!! Within probably a few hundred miles of you it is there!!! 4-wheelers are the preferred method of getting around at my beloved Sunny Rest in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, but many have golf carts too. There is a bunch of 'permanent' residents, who own thier trailers and rent thier plots for years on end. There are motel rooms, and of course campgrounds. A hedo-style disco, where slut-wear is de riguer, pool is nude only. The best is when you get to know your neighbors, what a great hedo-style group of people. We (meaning about 10 people, some swingers, some not, but all friends) went on 4-wheel treks every weekend, naked, just exploring the trails. Naked. We found a clearing and made it our own, brought up a grill, picnic tables, tiki torches, all on wee little trailers on the back of the quads. And the sex swing. And the trampoline. The entire area is covered with Mountain Laurels (Rhodendrons to most of us), completely covered in pink fragrant flowers. I dare say that I prefer Sunny Rest to Hedo since I got to go there every weekend from May through October, the relationships are more accessible (in that you make friends, and see them every weekend instead of a few times a year).

It's a really old run down resort, but that is ch-ch-changing as the old dude retired and the new (family) owner is improving, meaning wanting to sell cocktails in the disco and at the pool instead of BYO. But for real, check it out. www.sunnyrest.com

As an avid gardener I thought you might like to know that while Rhodendrons and Mountian Laurel both in the Ericaceae family I have never read or heard of one being called the other. The only common bond is that they are both acid loving plants. Calling a Moutian Laurel a Rhodendroms would be like calling a Moutian Laurel a Blueberry or Cranberry plant.

I'm also an avid gardener but the deer eat everything in sight, even if they don't normally like a specific plant, they still pull it out of the ground.

I mention this because Mountain Laurel and Rhodendrums are the 2 plants the deer won't touch.

I tried to create a hosta garden outside my fence. I planted over 54 variegated hostas. They came up and it was a beautiful garden until the drought hit hard last summer and with very little food in the woods the deer became desperate enough to brave an encounter with my dogs. What I didn't dig up and move before the summer was over the deer ate.

Deer LOVE Hostas Steve and will eat them right into the ground. The deer lay on a sloped area of my backyard and watch me through my bedroom windows getting laid sometimes. At least they can't laugh.

I'm sure they laugh behind your back.

[innit Geezer]

Maybe the 2 legged dear do but not the 4 legged deer.

Your 100% right Gary, as I found out the hard way. I had multiple hosta gardens before we moved to the country and the deer never bothered them one time. I lived just outside of town and my backyard backed up into a swamp. Deer were everywhere year round but they never once ate my hostas. Go figure.

Deer don't have to watch me getting laid through my bedroom windows. We go out in the back yard, or the deck, or the front yard, it doesn't matter when you live in the country.

I thought I was a hero
she rated me a zero
and told me "you ain't goin no where boy, you ain't finished, yet."

All this talk of "deer"... the proper term is "venison on the hoof"

ch-ch-change deer to dear and say that about the hoof. I dare ya.

[Ardbeg... innit]

I believe in that case the answer is "camel toe"

I'm relieved to see you didn't say camel hoof. Camel Toe is soooooo.................. much better. It creates such a great visual.

None of this pertains to me, I'm hung like a moose.

[♥ COVID-19♥]

I'm the same size as a moose, too, but only around the antlers.

Tying it off at the ankle I suspect.

[innit Geezer]

Maybe it's the moose sized salami that's capturing the deers attention.

Correction please: dears attention

[Ardbeg... innit]

moose and deer dont mix

[♥ COVID-19♥]

Moose and squirrel, OTOH, make a *great* combination...

[innit Geezer]

As do Captains and moose. (Captains of what I'm not sure)

[innit Geezer]

I wonder if Simon or Ozmale know who Captain Kangaroo is, let alone Mr. Green Jeans?

He picked up that honorarium one year a Hedo by piloting an oversized float big enough for himself, the moose, Mr Green Jeans, and the rabbit, much to the praise of the watchers on the beach

[innit Geezer]

Is it me or does Mr. Moose look bored sh*tless?

I wish I could hang out on the P.C. today because yesterday I did paper work and hung out here at the same time, it was fun.

I have a small ugly job today at a HUD building I service. The entire building is naturalized Russians and explaining to these people that you can't walk in wet cement based floor patch and clear set adhesive is nearly impossible. (for a new VCT floor)

I wonder how these people come here from Russia and get housing support from Uncle Sam or Former Uncle Spitzer? Nice housing I might add.

I'm not asking, the language barrier is hell.

Let's not forget Bunny Rabbit and Grandfather Clock. They were heavies on that show too.

I don't know what that means but when we were done the elder Russian lady who lives in the apartment gave me a bottle of Stolichnaya vodka. She said "I give you som-zing fRom Russia."

A nice gesture on her part.
