Apologies to all new readers of this site if you wanted to register your details - we’ve had to temporarily disable new user registrations. It looks like an automated system of some sort has figured out how to create new users - there’s been no loss of data or damage to the site, and the new users have not even tried to post anything!!

At first we thought we had become suddenly popular, but a closer look revealed some interesting patterns in the “random” names!! Never fear, user registration will be back before long. The site is due for a refresh anyway, and coming up to summer could be the ideal time to give our little home on the web a spring clean!!

If you desperately want to register, it is still possible - just drop us a note on the links page and we will manually create your account.

This article was forwarded to us recently, and it reminded us of warmer days!!

World Travel Guides - Everybody Get Naked!

Check out the reader comments as well, an interesting read!!

We’ve just been informed that RACV and Tourism Victoria are running a competition to identify the “places not to be missed” in Victoria!!

Of course, all of Victoria’s nude beaches would fall into that category, but in this instance we’re voting on Pt Impossible, check out this link - Click here for Pt Impossible - and help support your beach with your vote!!

Thanks to Rob for registering Pt Impossible - now, go and vote (and pick 5 stars!!)

In this article in the Geelong Independent, Police Inspector Bill Mathers has supported calls for security CCTV at Point Impossible, indicating CCTV is used effectively in criminal investigations in the region.

The Surf Coast Shire has officially released the summary outcome notes from the workshop held with stakeholders on 29 April. To summarise, the notes indicate:
- Statistical evidence of increased inappropriate behaviour would be required before additional police patrols could be justified.
- Work towards changing public mindset was required, since it appears that there have been instances of inappropriate behaviour that have gone unreported (we always recommend reporting any inappropriate behaviour, help the police keep our beach family friendly)
- The installation of a surveillance camera was suggested, but the costs of installation and monitoring would need to be assessed further
- Additional brushing could be used around the dunes to reduce erosion and prevent unauthorised foot traffic through the dunes. Brush matting has been proven to work well in the past in rehabilitating dunes damaged by people
- Esatblish a “Friends of Point Impossible Beach” group to get the greater community more involved in preserving the beach
- Improvements to the carpark including additional signage may be required, and additional signage in general to better delineate the beach from other areas (particularly in light of the new dig regulations)

Another meeting of the working group is scheduled for October, to address these ideas (and collate the various costs/efforts/participants before the next summer season commences)
