1949 Geelong Streaker
The
Argus – friday 24 June - 1949
POSED
NUDE ON PIER
While
most Geelong residents were huddled around fires or wrapped in
blankets a woman completely disrobed on Yarra St Pier to win a bet.
The story revealed in Geelong City Court yesterday was that a man bet
her that she was “not game” to do it. After she had taken up the
challenge, it was alleged that the man disappeared without settling
the bet. Police soon after found the woman wearing a fur coat. She
was charged with having been drunk and disorderly.
She
was convicted and discharged after she told Mr. Blakiston, JP, that
she was ashamed.

Yarra
Street Pier is located at the end of Yarra Street and features a
number of restaurants, as well as being the departure point for
helicopter joyflights. The majority of the pier was destroyed by fire
in 1988, but various proposals have been made for the rebuilding
