  I can certainly recommend Bobrene. There will be couples and not likely to be any singles. She might find that more comfortable. As for wallowing, their pool is great. I haven't been to Balkaz but it sounds good.

  Thanks for the recommendation Dropbear.  :-) The more I think about what I have seen online, the more I think you are right. Their pool area looks great, you can slip in and out of the spa (all part of the pool system) and there's walks in the immediate area. That's all very much my Mrs taste.

  Thanks Mikenshell and Sand_tan.
  Does QSF have a pool? I know they have a creek.
  We'd be limited to weekends unfortunately, but I appreciate the suggestion.  Just how busy does it get on a weekend?

  If it's walks you are after then PSF is possibly better as their walking tracks are a bit more extensive than Bobrene's. No pool but the beach at the creek is very nice. However weekends can be busy.

  [quote] Hey there friendly Qld peeps,
  Looking for the collective wisdom:
  
  My adorable wife has never shared my enjoyment of the breeze on bare skin, but she's rarely in clothes around the house (in fact, I wear clothes more than she does! lol). She'll do anything to wallow in water for a few hours, and recently we returned from Germany where she was quite happy to strip off and used mixed gender spas. She LOVED it and quite frequently reminisces.
  We did a trip to Byron years ago, but she hasn't become interested in returning yet, mostly because the surf was too rough (read: no water wallowing!) and a guy asked (politely) to take our photo which we declined. Not really an incident, but it rattled her.
  I've never done the resort thing (only beaches) and I think its time I suggest a day visit to her. I figure we can leave within the hour if she doesn't like it.
  I've settled on two day visit possibilities based on her love of pools, spas, and gardens:
  1. Bobrene @ Mt Tamoborine.
  2. Balkaz Retreat @ Caboolture.
  
  I was wondering if people could help me out with a recommendation for one or the other, and why. Accommodation is not in consideration, as commitments mean we must return home by sundown.
  On other important factor: she's quite a reclusive introvert, so any attempts by people to be social with her might backfire on my project!  :-) She's not rude, but she avoids social interaction if possible.
  So, what would people recommend?
  
  Cheers,Wink.
  [/quote]Hi Wink,I haven't been to bobrene before, but I have been to Balkaz and I certainly recommend it. Nice, upmarket and friendly environment.Pacific Sun Friends is also good for one-on-one week visits, as well as weekends. I highly recommend it, and wish your wife the best of luck with becoming comfortable with the local nudist scene here. :)

  Wow! Em! You're a star! Thanks for the time you took for the detailed write up with focus on peak/off peak times. I'll show this to my lovely wife.

  Ignoring the peak flux and mozzies, Donnybrook sounds like the next best option because she loves a creek. :-) But I'm still heading my bets on BoBrene. But there's a few good options in there, and the extra info will be very useful.

  I've been meaning to get back here to TrueNudists and give an update:

  The Mrs agreed to give it a go while we were in transit to Sydney, at Kiata Country Club. She loved it, helped by the fact she was having a wine out of a drink bottle by the pool! lol! We went on a weekday, and met a couple of very friendly members who live on site. Lovely huge facility with a large pool, attached spa, and a huge swimming hole too. Lots of walks. She loved it so much, she insisted we return on our drive out of Sydney on a Monday.

  She's still hung up on "being seen" locally though, but I think the memory of Kiata is so good, we might win this one! :-)

  Thanks again everyone, and I'll get to posting a review of Kiata.

  [quote]cheers and enjoy life...it's the only one we have...xxx[/quote] Amen to that. Well, things have been going well since her first outing a few months ago. The problem I have no is that she's ALWAYS wanting to go and I don't have that much time, lol! The fear of being seen has faded a lot. Thanks for your advice everyone.

  That's funny. It's always the way; once you've got over that first hurdle and realise it doesn't really matter that people are seeing you nude because they are nude too. Then you just want more of it.

  Yes Kiata CC is an awesome place. Haven't been there in years. Was last there for Xmas/NY 09/10 for KFest :)
  There are a few venues where people live onsite. Many venues are fairly quiet on weekdays also, which is the best time to take a first time lady who is rather shy (otherwise anytime is a good time).

  The "being seen" issue will eventually become a non-issue. When I lived in Brisbane, I worked for Fed Govt. and was going to local beaches, clubs and venues there. I thought about the situation logically and deduced that anyone I meet at these places were either a genuine nudist like myself or a pervert. So taking this perception into account, I allowed myself to be photographed at various events and be published in our national magazine - TAN (and previously A SandH as well, before it ceased being published last year).

  Please remember to take baby steps with your ladies and most will come around in their own time. If you push, many will back away. Look at purchasing a nudist magazine or three and leave it lying on the bed for her to see. Try leaving it open to an article that talks about somewhere or something you're both interested in. Suggest you read that article too. Hopefully your partner will be curious enough to read it, to see why you're so interested in social nudism.

  I strongly believe that venues are the MOST suitable place for first time ladies, as you're introducing them to pure nudism, without some of those nudist who go to the beach and call themselves nudist because they're happy to be naked at the beach, but also are exhibitionists and like to perform in front of an audience 'on the beach'. Many are getting very blatant now. They also approach couples and singles, which isn't good. At some of our nude beaches there have also been people attacked (I kid you not).
  Yes sex on the beach is fun... BUT to help stop confusion that nudism has nothing to do with sex, this type of beach nudist is NOT helping nudists get accepted in the general population. So I'm against sex on our nude beaches for THIS reason.
  I only go to our beaches now, when there's either an event happening (eg a beach carnival, cricket match etc.) or meet up with a group of friends (which I do normally once a month).
