Resort guest turfed out for keeping his clothes on
PORT DOUGLAS – Police were forced to intervene between warring nudists during a stoush at a clothing-optional resort in north Queensland.
The Age newspaper reports that a tourist claims he was evicted from the adults-only The White Cockatoo resort in Mossman, near Port Douglas, after he refused to bare all in front of three women.
John Harrison and his wife, Lyn, had their stay cut short after resort owner Tony Fox accused the couple of being “disrespectful” to other guests because Mr Harrison chose not to get naked ahead of a dinner date.
“It was not the appropriate situation or circumstance for him to be fully dressed standing there with those ladies when they were so obviously upset about the fact that he was there,†Fox said.
Fox said the resort – which uses the marketing slogan “almost anything goes” – bans only cameras and illegal drugs.
Harrison has denied his behaviour was offensive.
