A spokesperson for the event, who asked to remain anonymous, said a large number of attendees enjoyed the event, which was held on a secluded property in the Benalla Rural City district.
“The event continues to grow each year with attendees travelling from near and far,” the spokesperson said.
“Some attendees include the event in their international holiday itineraries, whilst most travel from interstate and within Victoria - It is regarded as a must do on the nudist calendar.

“The weather was particularly pleasant with the extreme heat of the previous weeks easing.
“The undisclosed location where Nudemanfest is currently held is highly regarded by the attendees, with the amenities and facilities of a high standard.”

Nudemanfest organisers aim to have an environment and climate change focus - and as a result went Green this year.
“This meant that the policy of ‘Bring it in then Take it Home’ was embraced by all the attendees,” the spokesperson said.
“Recyclables were collected by each attendee, which meant that at the completion of the event, no rubbish needed to be disposed of.”
For those who are interested in the Nudist lifestyle Nudemanfest provides an opportunity to spend the entire event naked.
