Observations of a travelling nomad.


I have been wondering, since starting to travel this great country of ours, well around Victoria and SA so far, what it is about the caravan park environment that has people change. Now let me qualify this by stating I know I have changed in many ways also, gone is the daily makeup routine, I don't mind walking over to the shower block in the pj's and dressing gown, and lets just say the code of dressing has gone from well I don't know what to being a very neat casual these days. All good things in my opinion. 

HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a phenomen that has me perplexed, what makes the biggest hairest men think it is OK to strut around the CP with no t-shirt or shirt on. Please men, we don't want to see it, at least put a singlet on. Enough to turn one of one's breakfast. confuseconfuse

This to me is akin to me getting around in a bikini and believe me you would not want to view that at anytime, and certainly not first thing in the morning. nonodisbeliefno

Just a casual observation, and if the well built men out there, that are not covered in hair wish to parade around in shorts only then I am all for it, as for the rest well,  I will leave it at thatbiggrinsmilebiggrin

 

I guess it is all in the eye of the beholder.

 

I love this life and never get tired of observing people and their habits and meeting those wonderful people, who have enriched my life and I promise you all I will not been seen in a CP or anywhere else in a bikini.

What makes you think they only do it in C/P's Shekon? Have seen that "view" in the street, in a paddock, on a back verandah... anywhere where its hot.
They'll all be visiting the skin specialist eventually!

Up here in Qld where the weather is conducive to wandering around with little other than a pair of shorts I resent a person of the opposite gender casting derogatory remarks about my attire or lack thereof. May I respectfully suggest that you do not inhabit the same CP as me because I hate to see a grown woman crying out of frustration.

Big fat hairy men walking around C/Ps with out a shirt. Shock! Horror! Could be worse, could be wearing budgie smugglers.
Im one, have been for many years. When Im in C/P Im in holiday mode, no more suit and tie and if I offend anyone , well tough.
Im not offended by some overweight G/N, hair in curlers, terry towelling dressing gown, hanging out the washing.
So next time you see some fat hairy bloke in budgie smugglers wandering around yell out Hendo and if its me Ill come over and give you a cuddle!

Having lived in the tropics and sub-tropics for a long time, I also prefer comfort to appearance (which is just as wellbiggrin), and I don't really care what anyone wears (or not) as long as they're doing so for the sake of comfort.  It's the ones who strut around with an air of certainty that we all want to jump their bones on sight that make me feel a little nauseous.  But, if someone wants to make a fool of themselves in public that doesn't bother me! Personally I like caftans for cool comfort while still giving protection from the sun.

I agree with you Shekon - nothing worse than hairy or even non hairy men strutting their stuff with no top - even a singlet is a bit of cover, it is not a good look - droopy man boobs, line of black hair down the back, big bellies exposed!!!!

Now if there was a well toned guy about 35 - 40 with his shirt off - different story - and it is a pet hate to see half naked men in shopping centres - you are out in public, put a shirt on!!!!!

I agree Shekon. When a person stops caring about the way they look, they soon stop caring about everything else they do.

The Nulla Twins are happy to dress the way they do and I'm not complaining one bit.

I'm not the smallest bloke around and wouldn't think of not wearing a shirt out of the "Den"

Dazren, I have special glasses that make wombat look like he has cloths on, too scary otherwise.

Having just spent the weekend with Wombat, I can confirm he doesn't wear clothes. It is Cotton Fur.

Topless men are in the same category as bra-less women with jelly-jugs hanging down to their waists! Come on - even an AH-Bra would be a better look.

Ok here is my 5 cents worth. I just looked across the paddock & there is my chauffeur walking across dressed in his sartorial best - a pair of stubbies & a pair of crocs. Hugh Jackman eat your heart out. Then I took a second look & realised I am still seeing him in my mind to as he was 40 years ago when he made my heart pitter patter. Now I have to admit his pecs have slipped down to be enlarged abs. But I think I will keep him. Who else would spend good money to take me on cruises that make my heart glad.

Totally agree Spida. Can be scary at times seeing some of the jellies coming towards you.

Kandagal, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think that is just wonderful that he still has your heart go pitter patter and may it continue for many years.
