Nudity in the backyard

[p38arover]

Here's a query for the coppers/lawyers amongst us.

We were discussing this at work last night.

Can one be done for indecent exposure if one is skinny-dipping or sunbaking nude in the privacy of one's own backyard if one happens to be seen by a neighbour looking over the fence (or even from their window)? (Naturally I'm talking of solid 5-6 ft high fences, not chainwire! )

I'm not talking of being visible from a public place, e.g., the street, etc.

I did a bit of hunting around on the 'Net but came up with nothing conclusive. Most references are from the USA where it's really weird. In some States, one can be done as a sex offender and be placed on a sex offenders' list!

(This came about after I dropped in some never-worn uniforms for another bloke., I said there were a few pairs of long pants in the bag as I never wear them. Another bloke said he wears pants as little as possible! ....and so it developed. )

This isnt the Mud Pit and I dont really want to see pics of Ron in his Bday suit.

As far as I know, if your fences block out any veiw that your neibours would have of your backyard then you would be fine as they would have to be a peeping tom to see you BUT if they have a clear veiw of your yard from say a kitchen window then they could lay a complaint but I dont think in oz you would get chucked on a sex offenders list, probably just a copper at the door telling you to put some clothes on.

Definitely NO, but Ron's neighbour might be OK.

It brings a new view of indecent exposure!

Chuckle, Chuckle , Chuckle,
I think it's relative.
For example, my neighbor to the left may sunbake nood as often as her early forties well kept bod will allow it, but the neighbor on my right should keep his hairy, sweaty, overweight frame covered.

OOOOOOOOHHHHH, this thread is getting ugly .

It reminds me of an episode of Magnum, P I that saw from Foxtel last night where someone said Higgins' former fiancé would be 40 years uglier by now.

Again relative.
You talking about my neighbor to the left, or neighbor to my right?
