Check details for the specific location. Some cities and towns may ride on a date within a week of the official date due to local circumstances such as holidays and festivals.

The tentative locations are:

Byron Bay, NSW
Melbourne, VIC

Sydney, NSW

Other Australian cities and towns could have a WNBRide this year. Please refer to the Organizing a ride in Australia for more information about how to volunteer as an Organiser for your city or town if it is not listed above.

History

As the global list of rides shows, Australia has participated in the World Naked Bike Ride since 2005. Check its local ride location pages for further information.

Future

Organisers are planning rides for several cities in Australia. All the cities with media contacts have future rides planned. Where rides have not occurred or not occurred in the last 12 months, it is often the case that there is no one who has volunteered to organise the next ride in that location. People interested in participating or organising a WNBR in Australia should join the discussion group appropriate to their location (or the WNBR Australia Yahoo! group if none of the existing discussion groups are appropriate), try to make contact with others with similar views and demonstrate some initiative. It will happen if you help make it happen! Please refer to the Organizing a ride in Australia page for more information about starting or restarting a ride.

Publicity: flyers, posters, images etc

Posters and flyers from previous WNBRs in Australia can be viewed in the Australia Publicity Archive.

+[[File:Scooter-for-Australia B.jpg]]  <br>Photo: The first World Naked Bike Ride to be confirmed or photographed in Australia occurred in Newcastle, New South Wales on Valentines Day 2005.<br>
-Following the success of WNBR promotional activities at [http://www.dte.org.au/ ConFest] over the 2007-2008 New Year period and again over Easter 2008, the first '''WNBR Australia National Convention''' was held at [http://www.dte.org.au/ ConFest] over the 2008-2009 New Year period. WNBR Australia National Conventions will be an ongoing feature of [http://www.dte.org.au/ ConFest]. Everyone is welcome to participate.
+'''PROTEST THEME'''<br>
-===Details===
+'''Peacefully expose the vulnerability of cyclists, humanity and nature in the face of oil, cars, war, consumerism and non-renewable energy.'''<br>
-*Dates: Easter 2009 ( check [http://www.dte.org.au/ ConFest] website for details )

-===Please bring your pushbike===
-The terrain is fairly flat though there are no paved roads within the ConFest site so it suits bikes with wide tyres like BMXs, Mountain Bikes, Ladies Shopper Bikes and Cruisers. Road bikes and racers are not recommended. The area is known for having thorns which can pierce tyres and tubes so make your tyres [http://au.search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGku22nUdJijsATAQL5gt.?p=thorns+in+bike+tyres&y=Search&fr=mcsaoffblock&ei=UTF-8&pop=1&rd=r1 thorn-proof] if you can and you MUST bring a puncture repair kit. If you can bring a spare bike (or three) to share with others that would be fantastic because the number of people keen to participate has exausted WNBR stocks of bikes at previous ConFests.
-===Features of the programme include:===
-* World Naked Bike Ride practice rides. Twice daily clothing optional bike rides through the vast (nearly 1000 acres) natural Confest private site. Spread the message of peace, love, and protection of mother earth through sustainable cycling.

-* Pre-Ride body painting workshops.

-<br style="clear:left;" />
-* Pre-Ride mud baths.
-* Post-Ride skinny dipping and refreshment.
-* Bike fixing workshops. Learn how to fix and repair your bike with help and instruction from a professional bike mechanic. Tools are supplied for use at the workshop.
-* New Organiser's Workshop. Learn how to become a World Naked Bike Ride organiser and plan a World Naked Bike Ride in your town or city.
-* Australian Organisers National Conference. New and existing Organisers and Coordinators will meet to plan future WNBR activities within Australia.
-* Plus all the other activities and workshops of ConFest. At Easter 2008 there were over 400 workshops on an amazing variety of topics.
