Protesting Peeping Toms

Clothed Tourist Sparks “Mini-Riot” at White Cockatoo

Just a few days ago, we told you about Australian nudist colony White Cockatoo’s plans for a month-long clothes-free romp. Just a few days later, the resort has made news once again after a tourist in attendance refused to strip down to enjoy the ceremonies.

Australian police were called into the colony after Tony Fox, the owner of White Cockatoo, asserts that a “mini-riot” started after four nude female guests protested the presence of a fully-clothed male tourist who objected to removing his own clothes. Fair enough!
