What's it like to live in a far-off place most of us see only on a vacation? Foreign Correspondence is an interview with someone who lives in a spot you may want to visit.

Les Rootsey, is publisher of Australian Naturist, a magazine about nudist camps and resorts in Australia. He is based in Runaway Bay, Queensland, on that country's Gold Coast.

Q. Queensland is closer to the equator than most of Australia. Does the warmer climate make nudism more popular?

A. We're midway up Australia's east coast, where Queensland is the northernmost state. Yes, it is warmer -- subtropical is the best way to describe it.

And that makes naturism more attractive year-round. You can enjoy this lifestyle throughout the year.

Q. What's the Gold Coast like?

A. Similar to Miami but smaller. High-rise buildings and lots of tourism. Long stretches of white, sandy beaches. It goes for about 50 km. Brisbane is on the northern end of this.

Q. Who goes to your nudist resorts?

A. Mainly Europeans. Asians aren't into it. Naturism started in Germany.

Naturists tend to be similar types of people worldwide. There's little different among them.
