| Two kilometres of four-wheel driving off Gan Gan Road near Nelson's Bay you will find Samurai Beach camp ground; a national park, a nudist colony and an eclectic group of naturists whose disregard for clothing is what brings them together every summer, some for more than 20 years. For three retirees their lives are forever interlinked from chance meetings nude.
Frank Maundrell, 68, is a retired banker who lives in Tamworth. He discovered Samurai Beach camp ground through his friend after meeting her on the beach years ago. He says they instantly got on and she agreed to accompany him on a trip to Cape York. ''It was a major risk for both of us, but worked out well. It is only a week since we returned from our latest trip together to Europe.''
In 1996 National Parks designated the camping ground on the sand dunes in Tomaree National Park as clothing optional. Or as Frank calls it, ''a textile-optional camp ground''. A term he says is "widely used in the nudist community about people who support the textile industry". The small, bare-skinned community believes this may be the only campground of its type in Australia.
