Tasmania’s First Dark Mofo Nude Swim Attracted 300, This Month There’ll Be 2,000 | ABC Australia

In Tasmania on June 22, 2013, the Dark Mofo winter festival nude swim attracted around 300 participants and was expected to become an annual winter tradition. The event was held at Long Beach in Sandy Bay in temperatures of about two degrees celsius, followed by a more modest ‘prude swim’ featuring swimmers in bathing costumes. In 2024, the Nude Solstice Swim promises ‘an increased capacity’ and will again take place at Long Beach at sunrise, on Friday, 21 June, ‘welcoming back the light after the longest night’.
