Get Naked Australia amassed a huge following of 230,000 followers on Instagram.

The account, which was started by Brendan Jones, shares photos of Aussies promoting body positivity.

Brendan, from Sydney, began the account after getting a positive response to some cheeky skinny dipping snaps online.

Since then, the 29-year-old is inundated everyday with fresh nude photos from across the country.

He said: “Myself and a group of friends started hiking to really remote locations.

“We’d often find swimming holes and there was never anyone around so we naturally just stripped off and jumped in.

“I got a few snaps of our bums in nature and shared it to my personal Instagram and the response was generally along the lines of ‘good on you’ and ‘looks like fun.’

“So I decided to create an Instagram page and call it Get Naked Australia.”

Since its foundation in 2016, the naked craze has exploded in popularity.

“But the main reason I think it was appealing is not just the imagery, it’s the notion that I believe everyone loves being naked,” Brendan added.

He continued: “There are too many social stigmas involved and people tend to only get naked in the comfort of their own home or even bedroom.

“This page was a way to show that naturism is fun, something that people do regularly without the binds of nudist colonies.

“Lastly and most importantly, it shows normal everyday people naked – not the Instagram enhanced models that clog everyone’s feeds with their promotional posts.

“Everyday people, naked, feeling good about their bodies and saying ‘this is me and I feel great’. I think that’s why people really went for it.”

The jaw-dropping photos show bare bums in beauty spots like beaches, rivers and forests.

But Brendan is clear that he only advocates stripping off in certain locations.

He revealed: “Yes, public nudity is illegal. However all of our photos are in nature, away from the public.

“We don’t encourage people to go to a shopping centre and get their gear off.

“We encourage people to go for a hike, get outside and go somewhere remote and skinny dip.

“It makes it more real and that way there are no legal issues. You will also find most Aussies aren’t fussed about nudity.”
