Im not alone! I enjoy the genuine lifestyle, but have experienced the same. Campbells cove is sooo convenient, but the dregs that frequent there make it not worth shedding the attire. I think us genuine people should make a stand and force the undesirables out. they stuff it up for the rest of us. I was there about 12 minutes(yes i timed it), and some clown hit on me for favours. I told him politely I was straight, but some of them are persistent. With all of the open car doors and blokes sitting in drivers seats makes it very unpleasant. Im not homophobc at all, but the way the pressure is put on will only add to the argument the anti-nudist league will use to discredit the area in an effort to gazette its removal. Too all of the hangers on out there that read this stuff. Get on board if you are genuine and make and effort. Too the genuine gay guys – keep your distance otherwise we will all miss out. I like the closeness of Werribee without having to waist $$$ driving to torquay. Please get on board all you straight nudists/naturalist – lets take back what our beaches locally were intended for -enjoyment without being hassled. Email me at: roger.abbot [Email address: roger.abbot #AT# yahoo.com.au - replace #AT# with @ ] for your feedback. Why should we hide because deviates froce us to?

My wife and I just moved to Melbourne’s West early this year. Being a reasonably new nudist, I was keen to try out Campbell’s Cove being so close to the city. I was alas not very impressed with the calibre of visitors there earlier on in the year (2007). Having visited 3~4 times, I vowed never to return due to the overt behaviour. I am not homophobic in anyway, but am not happy to be sitting 10 metres away from homosexual groups openly discussing penis-size and how they intend to satisfy each other before the day is out. I am attempting to ‘open the gate’ to nudism more and more to my wife and family: taking them to Campbell’s Cove would be a solid three-steps-backwards!

This Tuesday just gone (2nd Oct ’07) has confirmed my instilled ideas of the beach with a one-more-try visit. This was (almost) the first day worth baring it under the sun so I thought I would give it a try. Whilst I enjoyed being free under the sun with my book, I do not like the carpark congregation and sneers at not being a regular. I thought nudism was all about being open and free and happy to talk to strangers. After all, we are baring it all and consequently letting down our defenses. I don’t want some pervert sussing how he envisages getting his way with me.

Thumbs down to Campbell’s Cove. I will definitely (and unfortunately) have to make the longer drive down to Point Impossible from now on. Here here, Cgalatis., I agree that there is SO MUCH unused coastline – both East & West – in Melbourne that could well be utilised by genuine nudists.

I look forward to meeting some of you at either PI or SS.
