June 26, 2009 —Bob Reed worked tirelessly for the freedom that had once been enjoyed on Reef Beach, to legally bathe clothes-free, here, in Sydney.

He initiated the establishment of the Free Beach Association of New South Wales and built up strong support.

Throughout the years of the existence of the association he was supported by Ron Wilkinson, as secretary.

While, through Bob Reed's efforts supported by the many naturist members, some other small beaches were given clothes-free status, it is a shame that the "mecca" of the then naturist scene in Sydney N.S.w., is no more.
