In 1770, Captain James Cook and his crew found unclaimed land located in the Southern Hemisphere and called it ‘terra nullius’. 18 years later, Captain Arthur Phillip arrived on the east coast of this land, at Botany Bay on the 26th of January. However, the land had been inhabited by Indigenous Australians for more than 40, 000 years. They were the first to have found the land which is Australia today.

But riding the wave along with the major social movements was the rising nudist, or by the preferred term, the naturist movement. Like all other social movements, the naturist movement was followed by a questioning and occasionally disgusted society.

‘The great question which they had to consider was, whether the time had not now arisen for the creation on this Australian continent of an Australian Government.’ These were the great words of Sir Henry Parkes, the Father of Federation, made at the Tenterfield School of Arts on October 24th 1889.
