In July 2023, a news report, “Australians warned over fines for bikini habit during Europe holidays” [see: https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/yk67arzb<\/a>] appeared in the Nine News cycle and several other news feeds.<\/p>\n

“Holidaymakers escaping the Australian winter to soak up the sun in Europe are reminded of a few seemingly innocent habits that could see them facing major fines.<\/p>\n

Melbourne woman Marti, for example, has reminded travellers that some popular holiday spots in Italy will fine tourists for walking around town in their swimwear.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know what it is about Italians, but they do not want tourists going around in their bikinis around the little towns near the beaches,” Marti said in a TikTok video.<\/p>\n

“If you’re planning on going to the beach, bring an extra T-shirt to yourself cover up, and the old Italian ladies and men will be happy.”<\/p>\n

“If you’re visiting a church or anything religiously historical\u2026 chances are some places will tell you to cover up before you go in,” she added.<\/p>\n

Indeed, last year, the Italian resort town of Sorrento announced tourists who walk around in bikinis will be fined \u20ac500 ($816).<\/p>\n

The fine was implemented following complaints by locals who reportedly felt “discomfort and unease” at the sight of the scantily clad visitors shopping and dining in their town.<\/p>\n

“The continuation of this situation, as well as causing discomfort and unease in the resident population and among visitors, could lead to a negative judgement on the quality of life in our town, with consequences for its image and tourism,” Mayor Massimo Coppola told The Times in the UK at the time.<\/p>\n

The Ligurian resort of Rapallo also went as far as to erect permanent signs reminding visitors there are fines for being scantily dressed.<\/p>\n

So, too, has the Calabrian town of Praia a Mare, with the local mayor extending the ban from inappropriate attire to walking barefoot through town.<\/p>\n

Similar rules exist in Spain. In Barcelona, people may be penalised up to $445 if caught insufficiently dressed in the town centre. In Mallorca, visitors could be fined closer to $900 if they breach the rules.<\/p>\n

Driving topless can also see tourists fined over $300 in Spain if it is deemed to impact their ability to drive safely”.<\/p>\n

Question: could similar circumstances arise to threaten Lorne’s laissez-faire approach to streetwear?<\/p>\n

Well … it seems that Lorne has crossed this Rubicon once or twice before\u2014as the following two examples will show. The first, taken from the Lorne News, Thursday 18.1.1968, reported that:<\/p>\n

Mr Dennis Ryan, JP of Geelong, has written to the Winchelsea Shire Council requesting that bikini-clad girls be barred from the shopping centre in Lorne.<\/p>\n

It appears that Mr Ryan was a passenger on a bus that stopped outside the Post Office. He got out and spoke to a couple of girls and said they were very cheeky to him. “It is disgusting to see such people parading about”, Mr Ryan said.<\/p>\n

While the Council decided to take no action, several articles subsequently appeared in Melbourne newspapers, including the following verse written in response by a ‘local Lorne poet’.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the author appears anonymous, though any verifiable claim to its authorship would be gratefully received.<\/p>\n

Dennis Ryan of Geelong
\nHas now created quite a song.
\nIt seems while sitting on a bus,
\nHe got upset with some of us.
\nBikini girls were strolling by,
\nAnd after giving them the eye,
\nBreathing wrath and righteous fire,
\nHe wrote a letter to the Shire.
\n“Ban those bikinis, it’s a shame
\nTo see such clothes on any dame.
\nCover them up, there’s too much bare,
\nPut something on them here and there”.
\nThe Shire said no, we don’t enthuse,
\nNot everyone will share your views,
\nAnd someone said, “What’s Ryan’s caper?
\nWe’ll write about it in the paper”.
\nOur Ivy Baldry [whom you know],
\nWill state her views to high and low
\nAbout our beach, our town, our trees,
\nFor she loves Lorne and all of these.
\nExplain to this reporter bloke,
\nBikini girls are decent folk,
\nAnd mothers wear them here and there,
\nWhen shopping for their summer wear.
\nAnd Graham Wheal, we understand,
\nWho’s secretary of our Progress band,
\nTold this feller from The Sun,
\nTo ban these things just can’t be done.
\nThis sort of thing is here to stay,
\nAnd we all love it anyway,
\nAnd those who don’t and write terse words,
\nShould watch some other kind of birds.
\nFor Lorne’s a town that’s beaut to know,
\nNo frosts, or fogs, or sleet, or snow.
\nWhen others start to feel the freeze,
\nIt’s warmer here by ten degrees,
\nGirls in bikinis wander by,
\nFar longer than at Cowes or Rye,
\nAnd neck to knees, they won’t be buyin’,
\nJust to please old Dinny Ryan.
\nSo, if you want to join with us,
\nAnd ‘happen to be’ in a bus,
\nWhen our bikini girls appear,
\nJust wave your hats and give a cheer
\nThese girls are healthy, strong and good,
\nThe flower of our womanhood,
\nDon’t worry, folks, sure as you’re born,
\nBikinis will stay on in Lorne.<\/p>\n

Going back yet further, the following is the text of a letter written [in 1880] to the then Chief Commissioner of Police in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Sir,<\/p>\n

I am directed by the Winchelsea Shire Council to forward herewith a copy of a Petition received from residents of Lorne complaining that persons are allowed to bathe indiscriminately in the Erskine River at Lorne during all hours of the day. The Shire Council now respectfully ask that a Constable be stationed at Lorne to remedy this nuisance and other matters that may crop up. Your early reply will oblige.<\/p>\n

Yours obediently,<\/p>\n

VICTOR ELKINGTON
\nShire Secretary.<\/p>\n

People were not always as broadminded as they now appear to be. Though seeing G-strings in the main street can be challenging, I hope the wheel doesn’t turn for a third time.<\/p>\n

A word from the chairman<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Hello<\/p>\n

What an amazing run of weather we are enjoying in Lorne! Wide open beaches, clear blue skies and balmy days with the temperature in the high \u2018teens. We know from past experience, it won\u2019t last forever but let\u2019s enjoy it while we can. Before moving permanently to Lorne in around 2021, Jan and I lived in Warrandyte, a northeast outer suburb of Melbourne. Our son still lives there. Last Tuesday morning I went on-line and checked the temperature on the weather station at the Aquatic Club. It was 17.0c. Out of curiosity, I then checked the temperature on a weather station in Warrandyte. It was 0.6c! Naturally, I then had to deliver this information to my son via a sarcastic text message to the effect that, \u201cI know where I\u2019d rather be\u201d.<\/p>\n

It seems that COVID Lockdown is well and truly over and people are either travelling overseas or preparing to leave for overseas. Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece seem to be the popular destinations sat the moment. It\u2019s looking like Sicily could well take over from Port Douglas as the winter escape destination for Lorne folk. It\u2019s looking like Lorne will be a quiet town during mid-winter.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

This coming Saturday, Lorne Dolphins travel to Alvie for football and netball. This season, both the senior Lorne football team and the Alvie team (last year\u2019s premiers, are undefeated with seven wins apiece. Good luck Dolphins!<\/p>\n

On the King\u2019s Birthday weekend, June 8, Lorne plays Colac Imperials at home. On Saturday, Lorne Football & Netball Club President, Carly Enticott, will host the President\u2019s Lunch from 12pm till 2pm. Senior coach Ed Curnow will be on hand to talk about the season and answer questions. Cost is around $55 for a sit-down meal and welcome drink. You can book here – https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/lfnclunch.<\/p>\n

That same day there is a reunion of the 1974 Premiership team. To help you with the maths, that\u2019s 50 years ago! It\u2019s looking like quite a number of players from that team will be gathering at Stribling Reserve on Saturday 8 June to celebrate. Lorne Football and Netball Club is hosting players from that team and their partners, at the President\u2019s Lunch. So, if you know of a player from the \u201974 team, would you let them know this reunion and the lunch are happening? It\u2019s likely that we will witness a great demonstration of that old phrase \u2018the older I get, the better I was\u201d on that day.<\/p>\n
