Nudist venture on the backburner

Tourism Central Australia has dropped out of negotiations over the creation of a nudist resort near Alice Springs.

The idea of a resort was raised last year via an anonymous phone call to the organisation asking them to gauge the public's reaction.

A homestead about 70 kilometres east of Alice Springs was considering the idea.

Peter Grigg says he has done all he can to push the part-time nudist venture, and it is now up to the owners of the homestead as to what they decide.

"They are, as I'm aware as of right of this point in time, trying to determine what their markets will be and will chase those markets.

"The primary interest for them at the moment is the 4x4 market, simply because it's placed out there on the Binns Track and it's a spectacular part of the world to do any 4x4 activity."
