Longtime regulars at Pelican Point on Lake Bonney, a designated clothing-optional beach, are frustrated over a lack of access following major floods and joint-management wrangling.
For nearly four decades, 77-year-old naturist Garry Cornish has been soaking up the sun and swimming at one of South Australia's few nudist beaches.Pelican Point is jointly managed by the Berri Barmera Council and the River Murray and Mallee Aboriginal Corporation
"It's pretty rotten ... We've been completely locked out... There's barricades up there and there's going be a fine if we go down there," Mr Cornish said. Adelaide naturist Hans van Bavel travelled to the Riverland in late September to visit Pelican Point but was surprised to find the site was closed.
An RMMAC representative said after the major flood had been through the area, it was important to preserve Pelican Point for the future. Berri Barmera Mayor Ella Winnall said the small beach, jointly managed with RMMAC, has a complex background.
