There's nothing more Canberran than enjoying the natural bush close to home, especially at the nudist section of the Kambah Pools.

Since 1972, a corridor of the Murrumbidgee River in Canberra's south has been a sanctuary for those willing to shed their clothes and inhibitions.

But while the prospect of public nudity may be confronting to some, an ACT Nudist Club spokesman said the Kambah Pool was a perfect location for those willing to experiment with nudity.

"We do have people come to us who have never been nudists before and people certainly go to the Kambah Pools to try it out for the first time," he said.

"You get a few people who say they'll just do it once but then find it far more comfortable to be without clothes.
