What’s the best way to celebrate Anzac Day? That’s right – to organize a nude beach cricket match of course. Well, that’s what’s happening in Australia, at least. In New Zealand they’re just a bit too shy.

But there is method behind the seeming madness. Pastor Bob Wright, a church minister and naturist, said the event, to be held on North Belongil Beach, would be a dignified one. He added that the Anzac diggers had often played games of beach cricket in between fighting during the first World War.

The Stuff website reports that New Zealand won’t be hosting a similar event because, in the words of Bill Hopper, the spokesperson for New Zealand Returned Services Association: “Only the Aussies would do it.” The Stuff continues:

Up to 500 nudists and their families are expected to attend the event, which also includes a beach carnival, body painting, sausage sizzle and a fun run. Mr Hopper said his only concern about the event was the combination of nudism with a sausage sizzle.
