In response to several 'commando style' police raids on nude bathers at Buchans Point Free Beach in 1988 and 1989, the FNQ Free Beach Association continues to lobby State and local Governments for the establishment of 'legal' designated clothing optional recreation areas aka free beaches. To achieve our aims the FNQFBA has made detailed submissions to: State Government of Queensland on July 1, 1996 and Cairns City Council on April 1, 1995.
